“The ranks were fully involved in the entire engagement and were able to iron out some very pertinent issues.
The Guyana Police Force is very proud and happy for these initiatives which will contribute to its reform and capacity building,” the force said.
This is not the first scholarship being offered to members of the Guyana Police Force by the Russian Government but it is the first of a combination of academic studies with such a larger batch of ranks being nominated.
