Several ranks drawn from the Joint Services have commenced Internal Security Training at the Inter- Services Institute of Internal Security Studies, hosted by the Guyana Defence Force (GDF).

The GDF, the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Fire Service have provided a cadre of instructors for the training.

A release from the GDF said that the training is timely in wake of Guyana’s preparation for the 2015 General and Regional Elections.

It said that at the end of the training, ranks would have fully understood their legal obligations and procedures to successfully accomplish the likely tasks to be performed on Internal Security operations such as Patrolling, Conduct of Road Blocks, Crowd Dispersal and Cordon and Searches.
