President Commits to Empower and Elevate Police Force

In a significant address at the Police Officers’ Mess, President Dr. Irfaan Ali reaffirmed his government’s dedication to not only promote over 2,000 police ranks but also to enhance the overall conditions of the Guyana Police Force. He emphasized a vision of restoring dignity and providing essential resources, stating that officers shouldn’t have to plead for basic necessities like water.

The President articulated that this initiative transcends mere promotions, calling for a cultural shift within the Force where collective ownership of assets and responsibilities becomes paramount. He highlighted that future evaluations would adopt a collective approach rather than focusing solely on individual achievements.

Moreover, he announced ongoing investments in crucial areas such as police facilities, equipment, and transport to improve operational effectiveness. Dr. Ali encouraged officers to engage in continuous education, unveiling new scholarship opportunities to foster professional growth, so that by the time they retire, they are recognized as qualified and respected individuals worldwide.

He criticized the outdated culture of neglect regarding essential supplies, asserting that a professional environment must be cultivated. The President further stressed the importance of trust between the police and the community, urging officers to exemplify professionalism in their conduct. “We are striving to build a police force that garners respect through accountability, professionalism, and proper resources,” Dr. Ali concluded.
