The Government of Guyana in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) yesterday launched a Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) document for the investigation and prosecution of trafficking in persons (TIP) cases.
The launching to the document was held at the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Training Centre, where Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan said that the police and other stakeholders will now have critical guidance when they are investigating TIP cases and interviewing victims.
Ramjattan, who delivered the feature address, added with oil profits on the horizon, Guyana will attract many persons, including those who have made a business out of trafficking persons. He stressed that because of that, the launching of the SOPs, which was developed under a project funded by the United States Department of State through the IOM, is a very important development.
