–during enforcement exercise around Georgetown
OFFICERS, during a traffic-enforcement exercise around Georgetown on Monday, issued tickets to several drivers for leaving their vehicles in dangerous positions along the roadways.
The vehicles belonging to those drivers were also clamped, according to the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in a press release.

“This is being done in an effort to reduce traffic congestion due to poor parking choices of many drivers. It is also to aid in the smooth flow of traffic in and around Central Georgetown. Twenty-five such cases were made on Monday,” the police said.
Traffic Chief, Senior Superintendent Mahendra Singh, according to a previous report had reiterated the commitment of the GPF to ensuring that there is safety on the roadways.

The Traffic Chief said: “Our intention [is to] ensure the unhindered flow of all forms of traffic within all regional police divisions, to minimise traffic congestion in and around the critical areas of activities, to conduct continuous awareness programmes [which are] aimed at ensuring all plans, routes of travel, and safety information meets the target audience,”
Christmas Policing includes an increase in the deployment of uniform and plainclothes ranks day and night throughout the festive season; increased deployment of mobile and foot patrols; and fully operational police booths located at several locations across the 12 police regions to receive crime reports and take action.
