THE Ministry of Home Affairs marked another significant milestone in strengthening law enforcement infrastructure in Region Seven with the commissioning of two major police facility projects, the Imbaimadai Police Station and the Kamarang Police Station.
These developments form part of the government’s ongoing efforts to enhance public safety, improve service delivery, and modernise police accommodation and operational spaces, particularly in hinterland regions.
The reconstruction of the Imbaimadai Police Station was completed at a cost of $39,089,240, while the rehabilitation of the Kamarang Police Station was undertaken at a cost of $31,705,852. Both projects were designed not only to address structural needs but also to provide police officers with the resources necessary to carry out their duties effectively.
Each facility has been outfitted with a range of modern amenities, including an enquiries section, property room, male, female, and juvenile lockups, a Criminal Investigation Department (CID) office, and a witness and identification parade room.
Additionally, both stations feature improved living quarters, comprising senior officer accommodations and junior officers’ barracks, to ensure a more comfortable and functional environment for law enforcement personnel.

The two stations were commissioned by the Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn, and the Permanent Secretary, Andre Ally, and joined by Deputy Commissioner ‘Operations’ Errol Watts, and Commander of Regional Police Division #Seven, Dion Moore.
In his address, Minister Benn underscored the administration’s commitment to creating modern, well-equipped police facilities that meet both the operational and welfare needs of the Guyana Police Force.
He emphasised that improved infrastructure is critical not only for the effective prevention and investigation of crime but also for building trust between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve.
These new and rehabilitated facilities are expected to boost operational efficiency, improve working conditions for police ranks, and enhance public confidence in law enforcement within the region.
By focusing on both the functional and human aspects of policing, the government aims to strengthen the bond between officers and the public, ultimately contributing to safer and more secure communities.
