THE Guyana Police Force’s Annual Youth Camp gets underway today at the Kuru Kuru Training Centre on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, bringing together young people from across the country for five days of leadership training, personal development and community engagement.

The camp, which runs from August 3 to 7, forms part of the force’s continued efforts to promote positive values, discipline and team work among the nation’s youth.

Ahead of the opening, Commissioner of Police Dr Clifton Hicken met with Deputy Commissioners Ravindradat Budhram and Errol Watts, President of the Guyana Association of Women Police (GAWP), Senior Superintendent Dr. Nicola Kendall, Head of the Community Relations Department Superintendent Leslyn Smith and Community Relations Liaison Officers from the 12 Regional Police Divisions to finalise preparations.

Throughout the week, participants will engage in educational, recreational and developmental activities while interacting with members of the Guyana Police Force and other stakeholders.

According to the force, the initiative aims to strengthen positive relationships between young people and law enforcement through open communication and constructive engagement, while investing in the development of future leaders.
