During last year’s budget speech, Finance Minister Winston Jordan said that plans were in place to vastly reform the police force. To this end, he had revealed that $700M has been allocated for the construction of four new divisional headquarters in Regions One, Four, Five and Eight.
Minister Jordan had said, “To better plan and execute its mandate, the GPF has undertaken to harmonise its divisional boundaries with those of the administrative regions in a phased manner, with a view to ensuring that each region has at least one divisional headquarters.”
Currently, there are seven divisional headquarters, which are headed by commanders. The composition of the divisional headquarters also includes a second in command, divisional detective officer and an officer in charge of traffic.
These are ‘A’ Division headed by Assistant Superintendent Marlon Chapman; ‘B’ Division headed by Senior Superintendent Paul Langevine; ‘C’ Division headed by Senior Superintendent Calvin Brutus; ‘D’ headed by Senior Superintendent E. Cooper; ‘E’ Division headed by Superintendent Lynden Lord; ‘F’ Division headed by Senior Superintendent Kevin Adonis; and ‘G’ Division headed by Superintendent K. Pareshram.
