Several members of the Guyana Police Force and Customs officers recently benefited from an in-person training session aimed at tackling the trafficking of new psychoactive substances (NPS) and synthetic opioids.

A release from the police force said that the two-day programme was conducted by Marzia Deflorian, the International Narcotic Control Board’s (INCB) Regional Technical Officer for Latin America and the Caribbean.

The training focused on several critical areas, including the identification of synthetic drugs, analysis of trafficking trends, and best practices for secure, real-time intelligence sharing via the INCB’s platforms.
