Georgetown : The Ministry of Home Affairs informed that Cabinet has approved the establishment of a SWAT Unit for the Guyana Police Force. This initiative is aimed at strengthening the Force’s law enforcement capabilities.
With a SWAT Unit, the Guyana Police Force would be better placed to make specialized interventions, thereby, ensuring law and order is maintained, and prospective threats are neutralized.
The Ministry has engaged the services of ‘The Emergence Group’ (TEG), a Washington-based consultancy firm, to obtain the requisite assistance in this initiative.
The process will commence shortly with an ‘Organizational Needs Assessment’ to be done by experts from the consultancy firm. Curriculum development and training, including mentoring, will also be undertaken by the consultancy firm.
The establishment of a SWAT team has received the full support of the leadership of the Guyana Police Force.
