The People’s Republic of China yesterday formally handed over vehicles and other equipment worth a total US$2.6 million to the Guyana Police Force, as part of its continued support for the government’s crime fighting strategies.
At a ceremony at the Police Officers’ Sports Club, at Eve Leary yesterday afternoon, China’s Ambassador to Guyana Cui Jianchun handed over 56 pickups, 44 motorcycles, 35 ATVs, 5 motor buses, 550 protective gear items, 70 computers (desktops and laptops), 10 scanners, 10 printers, 10 photocopying machines, 30 decibel meters and 5 generator sets.
Speaking at the event, President David Granger noted that the donation recognised the need to enhance the spatial deployment of the Guyana Police Force to every region, which aligns with the government’s plans to expand the number of police divisions from the existing seven to ten, which he has previously spoken of.
