State will fund UG degree for all regional police commanders – President

From next year, all branch and regional Commanders of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) will be required to pursue a degree or masters programme at the University of Guyana (UG) at the expense of the Government.

“… For every person that is a commander of a branch or division, we would pay in full for improvement in their education. Every single rank who is a commander at a branch or a district level, you must pursue a degree,” Ali told the ranks during his address at the GPF’s annual Christmas breakfast which was held on Tuesday.

This initiative, Ali said is being implemented so as to ensure the ranks are equipped with the education needed to perform their duties.
