PERMANENT Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Andre Ally, on Friday conducted an inspection of two critical capital projects aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) – the Guyana Police Force IT Training Complex and the Rose Hall Police Station.

In Fort Wellington, Region Five, Ally was briefed on the progress of the IT Training Complex, a state-of-the-art facility earmarked to be a cornerstone in advancing the technological landscape of the region. The complex, an ambitious venture with an allocated budget surpassing GY$80 million, is making impressive strides at 82 per cent completion.

This complex holds the potential to serve as a vital hub for training and technological advancements, showcasing a promising future for the area’s technological development. The work is currently concentrated on electrical installations, plumbing, painting, and external finishing touches.

In Region Six, the newly constructed Rose Hall Police Station is at an advanced stage, at 95 per cent practical completion. This over GY$70 million infrastructure serves as a vital upgrade, replacing the previous outpost, and is equipped to host various departments and facilities critical for efficient law enforcement and community engagement.

The station’s facilities include a community relations room, a case management system, a dedicated traffic department, and a state-of-the-art criminal investigation department, indicating a robust commitment to enhancing law enforcement operations in the region.

During his visit, Ally expressed satisfaction with the progress, emphasising the importance of these developments in fortifying the region’s security infrastructure. The Rose Hall Police Station represents more than just its modern appearance. It embodies a commitment to better community safety, modern policing, and improved public service.
