The Force is seeking to reinforce its mission statement which states “The mission of the Guyana Police Force and its Auxiliaries is to serve all citizens and communities of Guyana in a professional, pro-active and accountable manner. To achieve this we will work in partnership with communities, public agencies and private bodies to enhance and support an environment where all people are preventing crime and building a safer and secure Guyana.”
The newly inducted ranks, young men and women, were recruited from all parts of Guyana and will undergo an intense period of training which will consist of all aspects of theoretical policing along with stringent physical evaluations. The training is expected to last for approximately four months.
Training will take place at the Felix Austin Police College, Eve Leary, Georgetown, while ranks will also be trained at the Richard Faikall Training School, Essequibo and the Felix Austin Police College, Berbice branch.
