Joint Services outreach promotes safety in border community

Ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in collaboration with members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), on Monday carried out a joint community outreach in Arau, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), along the Wenamu River near the Guyana-Venezuela border. The exercise conducted between 08:00h and 10:30h and was led by police ranks who were joined by GDF ranks stationed at the Arau Army Base along the Wenamu River.

During the engagement, the ranks interacted with residents of the community and encouraged them to maintain clean and orderly surroundings. Discussions also focused on community safety, security awareness and general law and order.
Residents were advised to remain vigilant and to promptly report any unusual occurrences or potential security threats to the Police Outpost so that timely action can be taken.
The initiative was welcomed by residents, who expressed appreciation for the presence of the Police and Defence Force ranks and their continued efforts to promote safety, cooperation and peaceful relations within the community.
The GPF said it will continue to engage communities across the country as part of its efforts to strengthen partnerships with citizens and enhance public confidence in law enforcement.
