Kurleigh Simon

The Guyana Police Force’s Regional Division 4B, which covers Eccles to Moblissa, yesterday officially launched its policing plan for the holiday season and Divisional Commander Kurleigh Simon said an increase in armed robberies in the Providence area is among trends of concern to law enforcers.

Senior Superintendent Simon yesterday said that the plan aims to providing a safe and secure environment for citizens, visitors, businesses and the commuting public during the holiday season.

He noted that the plan will also place emphasis on visitors entering the country during the holiday season and new systems being implemented by the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
