Police Commissioner Clifton Hicken and Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum led Guyana’s representation at the just concluded INTERPOL’s 26th Americas Regional Conference, which was held in Nassau, The Bahamas.

A release yesterday from the police said that the conference, attended by senior Law Enforcement officials from 35 countries across the Region and beyond, was opened by the Prime Minister of The Bahamas, Philip Davis.  The conference focused on the  threat posed by transnational organised crime and the associated increase in violence, as well as the impact that generative Artificial Intelligence and syndicates splintering to maximise profits are having on major crime threats such as human trafficking, drug trafficking,  firearms trafficking and cybercrime.
