Assistant Commissioner of Police, Calvin Brutus, who is currently on administrative leave as he fights more than 260 financial crimes charges, has accused agents of the state and the Police of surveilling his movements and trailing his vehicle.

This afternoon, Mr. Brutus released a video recording on his social media page that captured the moments that he was being trailed by an unmarked Police car.

At one stage, Mr. Brutus in an effort to confirm that he was being followed, made a number of random turns into different street, and the car continued to trail him.

He eventually stopped and exited his vehicle and confronted the driver of the car, who came out of the unmarked Police car holding a phone in his hand recording the embattled Assistant Commissioner. That driver was identified as the Head of the Special Branch Department of the Guyana Police Force, Prem Narine.

“Stop following me Prem Narine, y’all stop following me. You understand what I am saying”, Brutus told Narine, who responded that “I have no interest in following you. I coming out and I see you videoing me and I start follow you, because I see you videoing me”.

Mr. Brutus reportedly told the Special Branch Head to Stop following him, as he returned to his vehicle and drove off.

In a statement, Mr. Brutus said “the State of Guyana’s unlawful continuation of surveilling me and my family remains a failure and on Thursday January 30, 2025, the failure took a major blow as none other than the Head of Special Branch Superintendent Prem Narine’s cover was blown”.

He also reported that there was another rank who was posing as a taxi driver at the Haslington Road front on the East Coast of Demerara, and who had been carrying out surveillance of him and his family’s movements.

Brutus said the blown covers of the Special Branch operatives and their inability to conduct undetected surveillance puts them and civilians at risk.

Two days ago, Mr. Brutus also published photographs on social media of two other unmarked Police vehicles that he said had been trailing him and carrying out surveillance of his movements.

As he faces a mountain of money laundering and other charges before the Court, Mr. Brutus has also dragged the Government and the Police Force to the High Court over the Police Force’s diversity Policy, which he said is discriminatory and seeks to hire and promote more Indo-Guyanese in the Force.

He also recently filed a lawsuit against the state over the establishment of a Discipline Tribunal to probe complaints against him that are related to the same charges he is already facing before the Magistrates’ Court.
