In keeping with government’s commitment to ensuring the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) is staffed with qualified officers, 226 ranks have graduated after completing training in several courses, a release on Friday from the GPS said.
The ranks received certification in a wide array of areas, including Prison Management, Human Rights and Supervisory Management and Emergency Response Training.
Acting Deputy Director of Prisons and Head of the Staff Training Department, Kevin Pilgrim said that the training is integral as it will equip prison personnel with knowledge and skills to efficiently perform their duties while also respecting the rights of inmates.
He also pointed out that the various courses reflect a commitment to modernizing the service through comprehensive training.
