E Division Headquarters modern facility now 80% complete

The newly constructed ‘E’ Division (Linden- Kwakwani) Headquarters modern facility, situated at Mackenzie, Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) is now 80 percent complete, with work expected to wrap up by June month-end.
Presently, the electrical installation is being done on the building, which is being reconstructed inside the compound of the Mackenzie Police Station.

Work commenced last December after the previous building was demolished to facilitate the reconstruction of a more modern Policing facility, equipped with all modern amenities.
This was made possible through an $80 million loan from the Government of Guyana, through the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
Divisional Commander Anthony Vanderhyden said while the project was expected to take up to 5 months to be completed, this time has been extended to another month.
“We have an extension of June month-end, according to the consultant”, Vanderhyden stated. The larger, two-storeyed facility measures approximately 135ft by 45ft.
The modern facility, when completed, is expected to bring about an ease in the state of affairs at the Station, since the previous facility was reportedly inadequately spaced and cramped.
As a result, various departments could not be established due to the lack of space at the Police Station. This issue is expected to be solved when the new building comes on stream.
Presently, the Police department is operating out of makeshift offices within its compound.
