Three detectives of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) recently completed their Specialist Degree in Legal Support of National Security at the Rostov Law Institute under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
A release from the police force said that the three detectives who completed this six-year programme which ran from 2018 to 2024 and focused on Criminal Law with a minor in Preliminary Investigation, are Deputy Superintendent Eon Alonzo, Woman Sergeant Purnima Seepaul and Sergeant Leroy Carroll.
The programme emphasised both theoretical knowledge and practical application.
During the course of the programme, the police said that the trio was exposed to comprehensive coursework which covered the various laws, forensic science, terrorism, national security, investigation and prevention of various crimes, administration, management, crime and criminology alongside specialised training in areas such as information security, information technology, prevention of corruption as well as tactical and weapons training.
Tailored for contemporary challenges in law enforcement, the release said that these skills acquired by the three graduates now enable them to effectively navigate the legal framework that governs national security as well as equip them with essential skills and knowledge for their roles as law enforcement officers.
“With this degree, the three detectives are now poised to take on more significant roles within the Guyana Police Force, as it has not only prepared them for immediate challenges but also positioned them as future leaders in ensuring national safety and compliance with all legal and ethical standards”, the release said.
