She explained that the City Constabulary and the Police Traffic Department were able to identify common challenges in managing traffic in the city, and agree on common solutions.

The Traffic Chief said that the collaboration is good, since it will improve the way traffic is managed in Georgetown.
The officers of the City Constabulary Traffic Management Unit are expected to be part of a combined training programme, slated for Saturday, and facilitated by the Guyana Police Force.

The focus of the programme is to build the capacity of the Traffic Management Unit of the City Constabulary.

The Town Clerk said that this was the first in a series of meetings that would be held with the Guyana Police Force. The new collaboration would focus on enhancing the capacity of the city’s oldest law-enforcement agency so that citizens can benefit from a better quality service.

“It is important that the municipality collaborate with other agencies that have similar objectives and goals,” King said.
