The Guyana Police Force (GPF) with the help of the government has set up a $100m floating base at the mouth of the Waini River in the northwest to tackle piracy and other crimes.
A release from the police yesterday said that the M.B. Tamakay will be fully operational shortly.
The police said that the Floating Base is staffed by members of the Guyana Police Force who are drawn from the Police Marine Station, Tactical Services Unit and ‘F’ Division and is commanded by a Gazetted Officer.
