After years of work, the rehabilitation and expansion of the Brickdam lockups has been finally  completed to the tune of $60M and the facility was handed over yesterday to the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn officially commissioned the facility which was built to accommodate a total of 52 persons.

The project commenced in 2012  under former Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee.
