Simon McBean

As the Christmas season approaches, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) has promised to heighten its presence throughout the streets of Georgetown and across the other regions in the country with 24-hour security as it yesterday unfolded its annual Christmas Policing Posture (CPP) which has been divided into fifteen sectors.

The strategies for Georgetown which were discussed yesterday at the launching of the force’s CPP which was held in the Police Officer’s Mess at Eve Leary, will be enforced within the boundaries from the arch at Agricola on the East Bank of Demerara to the other arch at Cummings Lodge, on the East Coast of Demerara.

The strategies which commenced yesterday and will end on January 15th of 2023 include the placement of police booths at the various hotspots around Georgetown, 24 hours of both motor vehicle patrol and foot patrols, as well as minimisation of traffic accidents and congestion during the period.
