Agent used to be in one of the Mitsubishi Colt Vans during the early 80's in GT. I don't remember the first letters of the license plate but the numbers were 9125. He had a reputation of being a tough guy.

I can't recall any policeman with false name. I used to avoid those guys.

But I vividly recall a police officer named Prince. He was on duty at virtually every public meeting the WPA and PPP held in Georgetown 1979-80. One time he ordered a baton whacking and tear-gas charge against folks at a WPA meeting on Merriman's Mall. I got a whiff of the tear gas.

Some WPA supporters used to taunt him mercilessly but he kept his cool and did his job. Anyone remembers Prince? What became of him?

Sgt. Joe Braz was giving traffic reports from the penthouse of the Bank of Guyana to Radio Demerara during a Christmas season.   Suddenly a fender bender caused a traffic tie up on Main and Church Streets.  The goodly Sergeant reported excitedly,  "the traffic situation at Main and Church is very chowtic (rather than chaotic)."  He introduced a new word into Guyanese vernacular that day.  He became known as chowtic from that day onwards, and every confusing situation became chowtic.
