Police mulling set up of cold case, gun crime units

As part of efforts to increase its capacity, the Guyana Police Force is looking to establish a cold case unit, a gun crime investigations unit and a cyber-crime investigations unit, according to Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud.

Persaud, who will retire in a few weeks having served the force for over three decades, made the disclosure during the opening ceremony of the Police Officers’ Annual Conference on Thursday at Eve Leary. The conference, which ended yesterday, was held under the theme, “Forging ahead with Effective Policing through Strategic Human Resources, Operational Management, Partnership and Professionalism.”
