In keeping with recent recommendations made by UK security expert Lt. Col. (ret’d) Russell Combe, a two-week training course for the Guyana Police Force’s Strategic Planning Unit (SPU) opened yesterday.

“This training… is directly linked to the interim recommendations that Russ Combe, the [Security Sector Reform] Advisor to the President, has recently produced. It is part of a planned series of training activities which we are looking to conduct over the next few months,” British High Commissioner to Guyana Greg Quinn said during the opening ceremony, which was held at the Police Training Centre on Camp Street.

Two Suriname police force ranks are also partaking in the training course.
