Using the eight key pillars of modern policing, the Guyana Police Force must be more proactive, rather than reactive, in its functions.
This was made clear by Minister of Home Affairs, Oneidge Walrond in her address to the Guyana Police Force’s Inspectors’ Conference 2026 when it opened this morning.
The minister underscored that the Force must move beyond reactive policing. She also urged them to ensure that leadership is visible, measurable, and consistent, noting that massive investments are being made in the Guyana Police Force.
“Budget 2026 provides resources, The national security strategy provides the framework and the President has provided the direction. What remains is execution and execution rest with you. Performance will not be measured in effort it will measured in results and inspectors this is your charge,” she said.
The minister reemphasised eight key pillars of modern policing, previously outlined by President Irfaan Ali. These pillars aim to transform law enforcement, improve accountability, and enhancing service delivery to the public.
“In 2026 a modern policing looks like a station that respond, every compliant must be treated with urgency, every citizens treated respectfully delays corrected , and the police measures your policing by your response,” the minister stated.
The annual inspector’s conference will be held until February 26th, under the theme “Modern Policing for a Modern Nation: Integrating Technology, Innovation, and Leadership to Strengthen Public Safety and Trust.”
