Slowe flays `monumental’ breakdown in security at `Baderation’ concert

Retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Paul Slowe has castigated the breakdown in security at Friday’s `Baderation’ concert at the National Park which ended prematurely when gunshots were fired and glass bottles rained down on patrons. No injuries were reported.

In a letter in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, Slowe said that when he had been in the Guyana Police Force (GPF) he had been instrumental in devising a protocol for the handling of shows with Jamaican dancehall performers that carried a risk of the firing of guns and the use of chemical agents.
