2 senior Police Officers are Guyana’s newest Attorneys 

…Crime Chief to be called to the Bar today

After enforcing the laws of Guyana for many years, two senior Police officers will now be practicing the law following their admission to the Bar on Tuesday.

Deputy Commissioner (ag) Calvin Brutus and Assistant Superintendent Delon Fraser vowed to act ethically and with integrity in their legal careers when their petitions to practice as lawyers in and before the courts were presented before Demerara High Court Judge Sandil Kissoon.
Brutus’s petition was presented by attorney Liksham Kissoon, while Fraser’s was presented by attorney Dexter Todd in a courtroom packed with their family members, friends, and colleagues.
Acting Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken was also there and congratulated the Policemen-turned-lawyers on their academic achievements on behalf of himself and the Police Force.

Meanwhile, in a Facebook post, Brutus expressed that he was eternally grateful to everyone who supported him throughout his legal studies.
“It is with great joy that I express gratitude to my family, batch mates, tutors, friends and others who have stood with me during these intense years of study. I wish to give a special appreciation to Commissioner of Police Acting Clifton Hicken for his support role and Attorney-at-Law Kissoon for presenting my petition to the court …,” he wrote.
Brutus; Fraser; Deputy Commissioner Law Enforcement, Wendell Blanhum; and Assistant Superintendent Domnick Bess were among the over 30 Guyanese students who graduated from the Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS) last Saturday with their Legal Education Certificate (LEC)—the final academic qualification to practice as an attorney in the Commonwealth Caribbean.
Crime Chief Blanhum’s Bar call is scheduled for today. Guyanese students copped several coveted awards when the Trinidad-based law school held its graduation for the Class of 2022 on Saturday last. (G1)
