The Guyana Police Force, in collaboration with the US Embassy, earlier today, commenced a five-day training programme for key personnel of the Force at the Officers’ Training Centre, Camp Road, Georgetown.
The training is being facilitated by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and is intended to equip ranks with the prerequisite skills in command-and-control management of critical incidents.
The facilitators bring extensive expertise in critical incident planning and management. Over the course of the training, participants will engage in systematic and structured instruction in command-and-control planning and operational coordination.
In brief remarks, Deputy Commissioner ‘Administration’ Mr. Ravindradat Budhram welcomed the facilitators and lauded their continued support to the Guyana Police Force in modernising law enforcement. He stated, “This ‘Command and Control’ training represents a vital chapter in the ongoing bilateral cooperation between our agencies. It is a testament to the fact that while our jurisdictions differ, the challenges of modern law enforcement and the tactical leadership required to meet them are universal.”
Mr. Budhram urged the officers to absorb the information like sponges. He implored them to challenge themselves to think critically under pressure so that their level of leadership can be expanded. “When you leave this training, the expectations for your leadership will be higher,” he said.
This phase of the training features instructor-led lectures, practical exercises, and participant-led group discussions. It is through this process that officers are provided with the opportunity to apply their skills in realistic scenarios, preparing them to be confident and proficient in supporting public safety.
