Some of the Police ranks who were rewarded for their outstanding performances in the execution of their duties at the Awards Ceremony
The Guyana Police Force today held its annual Awards Ceremony where its members were tangibly rewarded for the dedicated and outstanding contribution throughout the year, at a ceremony at the Tactical Services Unit, Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.
Today’s awards ceremony saw more than 1,000 ranks being awarded with trophies, plaques, monetary purses and certificates by the Commissioner of Police Henry Greene, an investment which saw the force expending $11.9M.
Commissioner Greene said the annual awards ceremony is an initiative which commenced some years back, geared directly at tangibly recognizing the efforts of ranks in the police force, who, during their tour of duty, have performed outstandingly, thereby in their creditable performances have caused the force to come in for high praises by the public.
“Lots of good work has been done…quite recently we have seen ‘ E’ and ‘F’ Division being highlighted for their outstanding working, when nine men at a particular interior location committed a series of robberies… a team responded from Bartica, did very good work arresting three and placing them before the courts, and recovering the stolen articles, whilst some would have died…It was quick work, quick thinking, with a lot owing to the cooperation of the public,” Greene said.
Toward this end Greene posited that had it not been for the public’s assistance in combating crime and criminal activities country wide, the work of the police force would have been more tiresome.
“We cannot do this job on our own, we must get the support of the public, a lot of what happens, happens because police receive information…without information the work of the police would be more tedious,” Greene said.

This contribution by the public caused the force to strengthen its intelligence gathering unit, which causes the country to reap the benefits of having violent gangs being broken up, with continuous strides made on the war on narco-terrorism.
“We have no visible criminal gang that we can talk about…there might be drug gangs around but criminal gangs- we have managed to bring that under control… The crackdown on the Fineman, Colin Jones, Cobra and other gangs are credited to intelligence gathering that has been used to “zoom” in on them and then deploy the Tactical Services Unit (TSU) to apprehend them,” Greene said.
The exemplary work being executed by the force, in maintaining law and order has led to an overall decrease in crime and criminal activities. “The statistics of murders seen, are not significantly related to known criminal activity… fewer guns are being used in robbery under arms and instead 36 percent of this category of crime is being committed with knives, cutlasses and other offensive weapons,” Greene said.
