COMMISSIONER of Police, Clifton Hicken, has directed a nationwide push to improve inventory management and upgrade police stations, as part of broader efforts to strengthen the operational capacity of the Guyana Police Force.
The directive came during a meeting on Wednesday with Logistics Officers from across the country at the Force’s headquarters in Eve Leary Police Headquarters, where the Commissioner underscored the critical role of efficient logistics systems in effective policing.
Hicken emphasised that maintaining accurate and up-to-date inventories is essential for identifying resource gaps, improving accountability, and ensuring that officers are properly equipped to perform their duties. He tasked Logistics Officers with conducting comprehensive assessments within their respective divisions to evaluate existing supplies and highlight areas requiring urgent attention.
The initiative aims to ensure that police stations nationwide are adequately stocked and properly maintained, thereby enhancing service delivery and operational readiness.
According to the Commissioner, the engagement forms part of a wider strategy to modernise systems within the Force and raise standards across all regions. He noted that improving internal efficiency is key to delivering better policing outcomes and strengthening public confidence.
