The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has recorded a 46.6% decrease in serious crimes for the year thus far, Commissioner of Police (ag) Nigel Hoppie has announced.
While delivering remarks at the opening of the GPF’s Annual Officers’ Conference on Thursday at the National Cultural Centre, Hoppie said while the police have no direct control of crime, the force is not sparing any effort to exercise crime control by utilising methods of prevention.
Hoppie noted that the conference would see the police reviewing and reexamining its strategies in an effort to ensure that the performance of the ranks during the fight against crime is better than last year, when the force recorded a 5.9% decrease in serious crimes.
