The Guyana Police Force held a graduation ceremony on Wednesday for 32 ranks who completed immigration course 3/2024.
The graduation ceremony was held at the Officers’ Training Centre, where the ranks were presented with certificates and special awards, a release from the police said.
This course (Number 3/2024) was instituted under the coordination of Sergeant Roshana Beete. For the past six weeks, the newly enlisted ranks underwent instruction in the basic and fundamental components of law enforcement, including human rights in policing, reporting procedures, public speaking, passport production, human smuggling and defensive tactics and the use of force. This was the aim for which the curriculum was designed – to create Immigration Officers who are well-rounded, disciplined, competent, responsible, and socially conscious, the release said.
During the ceremony, Woman Superintendent Dr Nicola Kendall said: “Today, you are not just graduating; you are becoming the guardians of justice, the upholders of the law, and the protectors of national security.” She further explained that their success is not only about how far you have come but also the commitment of the Guyana Police Force Academy to turning out only the best professionals. The valedictorian was Woman Constable 26824 Vanderstoop
Also in attendance were the Director of the Guyana Police Force Academy, Woman Superintendent Sonia Herbert, and Cadet Officer Oseana Alleyne.
