RESIDENTS of Region Two are set to benefit from enhanced policing and improved public safety following the commissioning of the newly reconstructed Anna Regina Police Station on Tuesday, an $185 million investment aimed at modernising law enforcement services in the Pomeroon-Supenaam region.
Delivering the feature address, Minister of Home Affairs, Oneidge Walrond, described the new facility as a clear demonstration of the Government’s commitment to strengthening security and delivering improved public services to citizens.

“This is a statement of commitment, investment, and intent,” the minister said, noting that the upgraded station is designed to meet the evolving demands of a rapidly developing region marked by expanding communities and increased economic activity.
The modern facility is equipped with male, female, juvenile, and isolation holding cells, along with specialised areas including a Child-Friendly Space and a Domestic Violence Interview and Waiting Room. It also houses critical operational units such as the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Traffic, Enquiries, evidence storage, and living quarters for police ranks.
According to Minister Walrond, the enhanced infrastructure will allow officers to respond more effectively to incidents while providing a more dignified and supportive environment for members of the public. She added that the development is expected to strengthen public confidence in the justice system.
The minister also highlighted the strong performance of Regional Division No. 2, which recorded a 39.2 per cent reduction in crime and a 54.2 per cent clear-up rate in 2025. She expressed confidence that the new facility will build on these gains and further improve the quality of policing across the region.
The commissioning forms part of a broader government initiative to upgrade security infrastructure in Region Two, with additional investments underway at Charity and the Anna Regina Divisional Headquarters.
Authorities say the new station will also play a key role in strengthening community policing by fostering closer relationships between law enforcement and residents, improving response times, and supporting more efficient investigations.
Minister Walrond urged officers to maintain high standards of professionalism and called on residents to view the station as a shared community asset, underscoring the importance of co-operation in maintaining law and order.
The upgraded Anna Regina Police Station is expected to serve as a central hub for policing in the region, contributing to a safer and more secure environment for all residents.
