All Terrain Vehicles, cars, 4x4s, mini buses and trucks are among vehicles valued $61M that were handed over to the Guyana Police Force yesterday to bolster crime fighting.
The Government Information Agency said that Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee presented the keys to the vehicles to Police Commissioner (ag) Leroy Brummell at the Tactical Services Unit, Square, Eve Leary.
The vehicles were funded through the 2012 National Budget.
Rohee said that the ATVs will be utilised in the interior regions.
Rohee noted that the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament has been demanding greater accountability for the use of resources assigned to the various Government agencies and their departments.
Brumell, according to GINA, said that two pick- ups each will be given to the seven divisions.
After the handing over ceremony, GINA said that there was an inspection of the vehicles. Thereafter, they were taken on a test drive by police officers.
