The Guyana Police Force on Wednesday commissioned the Bartica Police Boat House in Region Seven, marking another important step in strengthening policing capacity and operational readiness within the region.
Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Andre Ally, in his remarks, disclosed that the facility was constructed at an estimated cost of approximately $33,000,000. He urged that it be properly cared for and maintained.
Delivering the feature address, Minister of Home Affairs Oneidge Walrond praised the Guyana Police Force for recording a 25 per cent reduction in serious crimes and highlighted the importance of continued investment in law enforcement infrastructure.
She noted that the new boat house will significantly enhance the Force’s capacity to respond promptly to reports in riverine areas and emphasised the strategic importance of Bartica as a gateway to the hinterland.
Minister Walrond also urged that the facility be used with discipline and integrity and reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to providing the Guyana Police Force with the resources needed to combat crime and improve public safety.
