Acting Commissioner of Police David Ramnarine and US Ambassador Perry Holloway at the handing over yesterday
United States Ambassador, Perry Holloway, through the United States Embassy yesterday donated equipment worth US$20,000 to the Guyana Police Force’s Strategic Planning Unit (SPU) to further assist the Unit.
“This is just one of the most recent forms of assistance that the U.S. Government has provided through the Caribbean Basin Security initiative in furtherance of our efforts to increase justice sector capacity in Guyana,” the Ambassador said.
Acting Police Commissioner, David Ramnarine, at the handing over yesterday said the donation speaks to the collaboration between the United States and the British High Commission in Guyana.
He said that the GPF recently had training for persons in the Strategic Planning Unit of the Guyana Police Force. The Unit has already begun to do works, which will lead to much needed reform in the Guyana Police Force.
“Through the collaboration between the British High Commission and Ambassador Holloway, we have seen further work being done which is now realised,” Ramnarine said.
“Through donations like this, the US Embassy commits itself to assisting the Government of Guyana’s law enforcement institutions to promote the development of an accountable and professional criminal justice system,” Holloway said.
“We hold citizen security as paramount and applaud the government and the Strategic Planning Unit’s effort to reform Guyana’s security sector,” he added.
The items donated are one 50-inch Samsung smart TV, one Xeron printer, one Espon projector, one Camcorder, Espon scanner, two Acer Laptop, one key safe box and two tablets.
