Commissioner of Police Dr. Clifton Hicken, accompanied by senior officers of the Guyana Police Force (GPF), recently met with a delegation from the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), led by President Mrs. Kathy Smith, to explore opportunities for collaboration in personnel development, road safety, security awareness, and employee well-being. Discussions focused on how the private sector could contribute expertise, training, sponsorship, and other resources to strengthen key GPF programmes and initiatives. The meeting also highlighted the importance of strengthening collaboration between private-sector security personnel and the Guyana Police Force, while enhancing the business community’s understanding of evolving policing policies, security priorities, and operational strategies. Discussions also centred on the development of a formal symposium programme, the establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organisations, and recurring professional development sessions tailored specifically for female police personnel. It was agreed that further discussions would be held to finalise priority training areas, programme content, and implementation timelines.
