The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Friday welcomed 27 new constables from Region Nine and acting Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken urged them to uphold the values of the institution and remain professional at all times.

“In and out of uniform, ethical standards must be maintained at all times. You decide your journey in the organisation as an individual. So whatever you do you will be judged. We prepared you adequately with the tools you need to use to get the job done. It is now your responsibility to identify the tools needed to perform your specific roles,” Hicken told the new officers, a release from the GPF said.

A graduation ceremony was held for the new ranks who successfully completed recruit course 387 at the Officers Training Centre, Eve Leary.
