Capacity building, training and infrastructural development are among the priorities for the Guyana Police Force as it seeks to improve its service to the nation.

This was announced at a multi-donor workshop, which was held on Monday afternoon at the Marriott Hotel, in Kingston, following the recent change in the leadership of the force.

The major objective of the workshop was to align future activities of the international development partners with the high-level needs of the GPF.

Speaking at the workshop, Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan stressed that there is a need for support in relation to police capacity and investigating and combating police corruption given the too-frequent allegations being made by members of the public.
