While there has been a significant decrease in serious crime, there has been an increase in road fatalities, Police Commissioner Clifton Hicken said recently, adding that the Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) will be rolling out mechanisms in the coming weeks to reduce those numbers.
Speaking at an event to mark the 184th anniversary of the GPF, hicken said there will be rebranding and retooling of policing practices, driven by the 2022-2026 Strategic Plan that is consistent with the manifesto promise under the broader national objective of a safer community. The plan is governed by six pillars: operational priority; partnership; developing people infrastructure; performance; professionalism; and accountability.
