had it not been for his dismissal from the force, at the time the President was deliberating on his choice for Commissioner of Police and Deputy Commissioners of Police from among the eight Assistant Commissioner of Police at the time, if McBean was still on the job he would have been the most senior Assistant Commissioner of Police.

With an election season approaching and the likelihood that a day for elections could be announced today, Friday by President David Granger, It is unclear if the Guyana Police Force will go ahead and allow those senior officers who are slated for annualized leave and especially pre-retirement leave to go ahead as planned.
Usually in the lead up to elections, the force tries its utmost to keep its seasoned and senior police officers on the job to provide the much needed support and manpower but are then allowed to proceed on their various forms of leave after the election seasons are over.

With this new police administration, it is unclear if that posture will be adopted.
