The Guyana Police Force (GPF) and the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Development Association (BCCDA) on Saturday signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for capacity building of the force in key areas.
Deputy Commissioner Calvin Brutus, who has responsibility for Administration of the GPF, and BCCDA President Ryan Alexander signed the agreement at the Little Rock Suites located at Main St, New Amsterdam, Berbice yesterday morning.
The agreement covers a period of five years.
In a press release on Saturday, the GPF said the MoA will see the BCCDA supporting the GPF in capacity building while improving relationships in critical areas such as customer relations, security management, financial management, accountancy training, scholarships for youths and other support services and resources that will aid the progression of the force.
BCCDA will also assist the force with equipment procurement and community relations programmes, among other things, the release added.
It noted that the GPF will provide the necessary facilities to accommodate training of ranks.
The MoA is one of the many which the GPF has signed with other agencies over the past two weeks.
