In a strategic move to prioritize the human resource assets of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), President Dr. Irfaan Ali has outlined comprehensive plans for their improvement and recognition.
The president’s vision encompasses enhanced training, improved welfare, and the digitization of police services.
President Ali’s ambitious plan includes the establishment of a new police academy, focusing on providing advanced training for police personnel.
During the sod-turning ceremony for the new Brickdam Police Station, the president revealed that most services offered at Eve Leary would be relocated to the new Brickdam location, making space for the envisioned police academy.
This move aims to upgrade the skills and capabilities of police officers to meet the evolving demands of their roles.
The president emphasized the importance of linking the welfare of police ranks to results-based performance.
He expressed the government’s commitment to ensuring that police officers retire with dignity, aligning their end product with their service cycle in the force.
This approach signifies a holistic view of recognizing and rewarding the dedication and effectiveness of law enforcement personnel.
In addition to enhanced training and welfare measures, President Ali addressed the need to eliminate biases in the delivery of police services.
He announced plans to invest more funds in the digitization and automation of the police force.
This initiative aims to create a transparent and accountable system, where every aspect of police operations is traceable and accountable.
President Ali underscored the significance of digitization and automation as key components in removing biases and ensuring fairness in the delivery of police services.
The investment in technology is expected to bring about efficiency, transparency, and accountability within the Guyana Police Force.
As the government progresses with these initiatives, the overarching goal is to create a police force that is well-trained, well-supported, and equipped with modern tools to serve the community effectively.
The comprehensive approach outlined by President Ali reflects a commitment to the continuous improvement of the Guyana Police Force and its human resource assets.
