Two United Kingdom experts, Paul Mathias and Andy Odell, who are on a fact-finding mission, met yesterday with members of the public and regional stakeholders in Region Three, at the ‘D’ Division Headquarters, Leonora, West Coast of Demerara.
The event was organised by Divisional Commander of ‘D’ Division, Senior Superintendent Edmond Cooper, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
“Our purpose here today is to hear from you. We are in the process of putting together a document that will make recommendations for the reforming of the Guyana Police Force. We, therefore, need to hear from you, the important citizens of this part of Guyana,” Mathias said.
Representing the Regional Administration of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara was Regional Executive Officer, Denis Jaikaran who spoke of the need to bolster the public relations department of the police force and build a greater degree of trust.
Representing the Region Three Chamber of Commerce and Industry was President of the organisation, Halim Khan, who cited the need for a quicker response from the Police Force. A resident of Parika, Ramnarine Singh observed that the “Police must set the example and lead from the front.”
