Increased police presence at Zoo, National Park
The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, in collaboration with the Guyana Police Force and the National Parks Commission, has now launched the “Operation Safe Parks” initiative.
This plan is designed to boost security measures at the Botanical Gardens and the National Park, in response to a recent increase in robberies in these areas, the Ministry announced yesterday.

“The Operation will lead to an increased police presence in both locations, along with random police patrols, and the recruitment of additional security guards.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, through the National Parks Commission, is working to develop and implement a long-term security strategy that will focus on all of the areas under its management, including the Guyana Zoo.
This initiative is part of a larger effort by the Ministry to improve these urban parks and recreational spaces, and provide quality services and a safe visitor experience to the people of Georgetown, and Guyana as a whole, the ministry said.
