The needs assessment for the security sector, which is being conducted by British security expert Lt Col (rtd) Russell Combe, should be completed by year-end, according to Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan, who says that it is expected to both professionalise the police force and restore public confidence in its members.
In a recent interview with Sunday Stabroek, Ramjattan said Combe, who has been hired by the UK, is supposed to be in Guyana for a year. Combe arrived in Guyana in January and commenced his work almost immediately.
