The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has strengthened its crime-fighting capabilities with the acquisition of around  800 body cameras for its officers.

This was disclosed by Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn during a press briefing yesterday, where he highlighted the importance of modern technology in enhancing security measures.

According to  Benn, the force received 500 body cameras last year, bringing the total number of devices to 800. He emphasised that police officers are being trained to use the equipment effectively as part of ongoing efforts to ensure greater accountability and transparency in law enforcement.
