A TWO-DAY training programme was conducted by two facilitators from the United States Embassy Cross Functional Team (Soc South), Mr. John Tagliavia and Mr. Gabriel Rosas, for police ranks in Regional Division #10.
The training took place at the Mackenzie Recreation Hall in Linden on August 26th and 27th, 2024, from 09:00hrs to 15:00hrs daily.

This collaborative effort between the US Embassy and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) was spearheaded by Commander of Regional Division #10, Superintendent Guy Nurse, and Deputy Commander, Deputy Superintendent A. Anthony Austin. The primary goal of the training was to strengthen the relationship between the US and the Guyana Police Force, while fostering positive sentiments towards the US among GPF personnel.

The training covered a range of topics essential for modern policing, including Loud Speaker Operations, Face-to-Face Engagement, Propaganda Analysis, Practical Exercises, and Feedback. Each session was designed to enhance the skills and capabilities of the officers in attendance.
Upon completion of the programme, all participants were awarded certificates in recognition of their commitment and participation. Commander Nurse expressed his gratitude for the informative and timely training, noting that it would significantly boost policing capabilities in Region #10. He also encouraged the ranks to apply the knowledge and skills acquired to perform their duties more professionally.

More than 30 police officers from Regional Division #10 benefited from this valuable training initiative, which is expected to have a lasting impact on their effectiveness in the field.
