The Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the New York Police Department (NYPD) which will see the sharing of experiences and best practices tailored to the law enforcement needs of this country.
US Ambassador to Guyana, Nicole Theriot in her remarks said that the MoU solidifies the commitment and bilateral partnership of the US and Guyana to address shared security challenges under the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative.
She also stated that this timely initiative is in support of the GPF’s implementation of its 2022-2026 Strategic Management Plan and will run simultaneously with an ongoing programme aimed at the GPF Training Academy achieving international accreditation. The Ambassador believes this partnership to be “holistic, strategic and beneficial in addressing crime, violence, illicit trafficking, homicide and gender based violence that threaten Guyana’s security”.
