The NFSU is working with the Guyana Police Force Academy to train and equip our officers in NFSU certified investigative techniques, forensic science, cyber security and forensic psychology.

Through the enhanced training opportunities, Guyana is poised to be the Regional Centre for training in these areas through its Police Academy. Training opportunities will be extended to regional police services.

Other areas of collaboration will include the operationalising and management of our National Forensic Laboratory.
