Admitting that the image of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) needs repairing, President Irfaan Ali yesterday committed to retooling the force to ensure it can keep up with national development.
“…We have to repair our image. We have to repair how we are perceived. We have to repair relationships. We have to repair the organisational structure and we have to repair our brand. Repairing this must be guided by professionalism, must be guided by people and must be guided by patriotism. I am not asking you to do anything extraordinary but to understand what the principal values of our country are,” Ali said.
He was at the time speaking at the Opening of the GPF’s Annual Officers’ Conference, which is being held from March 4th to 6th under the theme ‘Enhancing professionalism, police community relations and confidence through continuous security sector reform and partnerships’.
