THE Ministry of Public Security, through the Ministerial Task Force on Trafficking in Persons, recently donated two FD-02 mobile forgery detection testing kits to the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

The donation seeks to further enhance the Force’s investigative and crime-fighting capacity.
Handing over the kits, on behalf of the Minister of Public Security and Chairman of the Ministerial Task Force on Trafficking in Persons, Khemraj Ramjattan, was Daniel Griffith, Coordinator (ag), Ministerial Task Force on Trafficking in Persons.

The donation was made possible through the Immigration Enforcement International, British High Commission, Kingston, Jamaica, which facilitated an Investigation and Intelligence Development training course.

The course for officers of the GPF and the Ministerial Task Force on Trafficking in Persons was conducted from January 27 to 31, 2020, in Kingston, Jamaica.

Ideally, these kits are primarily designed for the detection of fraudulent documents such as passports and identification cards at frontline areas such as at airports, borders and shipping ports, and will be utilised in the hinterland region.

Further, the FD-02 forgery detection kits are equipped with the requisite tools for the detection of forgeries, alterations, erasures and for the checking of security safeguards.
It is through donations like these, that the Force is now better equipped in its investigative capabilities.
