This adds to the 266 CPGs that are active across Guyana with a total membership of over 4000.
Recently, a decision was taken to divide police divisions A, B, C, D, and F into community policing divisions. This arrangement aims to allow community policing executives and the police to have a better span of control and consequently, greater supervision over the groups.
The new divisions are as follows:
• A Division – A1 (Georgetown) and A2 (East Bank Demerara),
• B Division – B1 (West Coast Berbice), B2 (Lower Corentyne) and B3 (Upper Corentyne)
• C Division – C1 (Unity to Good Hope), C2 (Good Hope to Conversation Tree) and C3 ( Unity to Abary)
• D Division – D1(West Coast Demerara) and D 2 (West Bank Demerara)
• F Division – F1 (Bartica) and F2 (Lethem)
