Officers of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) should never hesitate to respond to reports of domestic violence, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, SC, said during a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) medical symposium held last Sunday at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
The symposium was organised by the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security.
A Department of Public Information [DPI] press release quoted the attorney general as saying, “All of us in this room would have heard the complaint when police officers say that the matters are private and that they can’t get involved; that’s completely wrong.” DPI said that Nandlall reminded the gathering that the GPF benefitted from training programmes specifically aimed at educating officers on the Domestic Violence Act.
