Ali promises strengthened police force

Recently sworn in President Irfaan Ali has committed to strengthening the disciplined forces, particularly the Guyana Police Force (GPF) so as to ensure that every citizen is safe.

“Every citizen, every home and every business place must feel safe from criminals and from crime. The air that we breathe in our beloved Guyana must be free of the stench of crime,” Ali said while delivering his inauguration speech yesterday.

He pledged that his government will strengthen the GPF by providing it with the tools needed to keep every citizen safe, including training, modern equipment, adequate vehicles, and the capacity for rapid response.
