In an ongoing effort to maintain transparency and address misinformation, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) has provided an update on its communication with the New York Police Department (NYPD) regarding Wanted Man, Rickford Burke.
Contrary to Burke’s public claims, recent communication with the NYPD reveals that he did not file any report against a GPF Officer and the Process Server who served him legal documents at his premises in New York. The GPF emphasizes the seriousness of filing false reports to law enforcement, whether locally or abroad, stressing that such actions constitute a criminal offense.
The GPF categorically asserts that there was no illegality involved in the service of legal documents upon Rickford Burke. The Force labels Burke’s public statements as a “tissue of lies and libel accentuated by malice and mischief.” The public is reminded that the GPF will continue to operate within the boundaries of the law, and any false reports made by Burke will lead to criminal charges and prosecution.
In response to Burke’s unfounded allegations, the GPF is committed to taking appropriate legal action to address these falsehoods and malicious attacks against its ranks. The Force remains resolute in ensuring that the truth prevails and that individuals making baseless accusations face the consequences of their actions.
As the situation unfolds, the GPF encourages the public to rely on accurate information and assures the community that it will uphold the principles of justice and accountability in all matters related to law enforcement. Stay tuned for further updates as the Guyana Police Force actively addresses and counters the false narrative propagated by Rickford Burke.
