The remodeling and rehabilitation of the main police stations in regions three, four and five. $134.5M

Dr. Luncheon explained that the eight police stations – from Sparendaam into Region Five, and on the West Coast of Demerara – will be remodelled in light of new legislation, social concerns and the weaknesses of the police force.

Noting the importance of ICT in crime prevention and crime fighting, Luncheon said the stations would need to be remodelled to join the network of police stations that is being created under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
