The Police Records Management Information System (PRMIS), which is expected to move the Guyana Police Force away from paper-based crime recording, was yesterday officially launched at the Guyana Police Force Training Centre, in Georgetown.

The Alberttown Police Station in the capital and the Fort Wellington Police Station on the West Berbice were selected to pilot the programme over a six-month period, after which the programme will be spread to more stations across the country.

A number of computers, printers and different software applications were handed over at the launch to the Guyana Police Force by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through their CariSECURE partnership, with full funding from the United States government.
