Surveillance cameras to be installed at all police stations

Robeson Benn

In an effort to ensure members of the public are treated appropriately when engaging with the Guyana Police Force (GPF), Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn said surveillance cameras will be installed at all police stations throughout the country.

“So where there is contact between the police and the population, there will be cameras which will be recording those engagements. We are talking the talk about when people come to the police station, how they are treated—whether they are chased out, whether their information is taken down, whether there is a safe space for women who may be suffering domestic abuse or for children who make be having issues under the law,” Benn disclosed during a guest appearance on the weekly webinar “Guyana Dialogue” on Thursday night.
