Saying that the country’s security needs to be boosted, President Irfaan Ali yesterday charged the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to “up its game” particularly as it relates to crime fighting to meet the needs of the country in light of the economic expansion and transformation that is occurring.
“….The Guyana Police Force must up its game. The streets, communities, homes and businesses must become safer places, much safer. We are going to invest in you. We are going to invest in the infrastructure and assets that is needed and more importantly we are going to invest in the people of our country to ensure that they feel a part of what is happening,” Ali said.
He was at the time delivering the feature address at the Opening of the GPF’s Annual Officers’ Conference which is being held from March 10th to 12th under the theme ‘Promoting improvement of public trust and confidence, maintaining safety and security through competence, professionalism and partnership’.
