MINISTER of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn, on Thursday, officially commissioned four major security infrastructure projects in Police Regional Division 4‘A’, reinforcing law enforcement capacity, modernising operations, and boosting community safety.
The Ministry of Home Affairs confirmed that more than G$2 billion will be spent on completed projects in the region by the end of 2025, with 38 projects already finalised and several more ongoing as part of the Government’s wider security modernisation programme.

“These buildings are not just structures; they are platforms for better policing and community trust,” Minister Benn said during the commissioning ceremony. “With new housing schemes expanding around North Ruimveldt, we must adapt, modernise, and ensure security keeps pace with development.”
Key Projects Commissioned
1. North Ruimveldt Police Station – Completed at a cost of G$123.8 million, the station features modern facilities and resources aimed at enhancing policing services within the community and surrounding housing schemes.
2. Special Constabulary Headquarters – Reconstructed at a cost of G$119,953,850, the headquarters now provides modern office spaces, improved infrastructure, and enhanced training facilities to support specialised operations. Woman Superintendent Boyce described the facility as “a proud and transformative moment for the Special Constabulary,” serving 236 locations nationwide. Assistant Commissioner Kingston added that the facility reflects “a bold step toward change” after decades of inadequate infrastructure.

3. Guyana Police Force Marine Wing, Ruimveldt – Built at a cost of G$71,641,489, the Marine Wing plays a critical role in maritime policing and riverine security. Operating seven boats with 23 ranks on duty, the facility ensures continuous patrols covering areas from the Demerara River mouth to Timehri. The Ministry noted that the upgrade strengthens the Force’s capacity to respond swiftly to riverine incidents and safeguard coastal communities.
4. Ruimveldt Police Station – Reconstructed at a cost of G$55,632,913, the station now offers modern amenities, enhanced workspaces, and integrated technology systems to improve service delivery and foster stronger community engagement. Permanent Secretary Andre Ally encouraged officers to match the new infrastructure with professional performance.
Deputy Commissioner Errol Watts reflected on the transformation, stating, “Fifteen years ago, we worked out of deteriorating structures with limited resources. Today, we are commissioning modern, state-of-the-art facilities designed to empower officers and better serve the public.”

Minister Benn reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to enhancing national security, emphasising that these projects, alongside modern technology and stronger community partnerships, will equip the police force to meet both present and future challenges.
