– as 100 complete Junior & Senior Leaders Courses

One hundred Police ranks have completed the Junior and Senior Leaders Courses at the Officer’s Training Centre, Eve Leary, following seven weeks of intense training which commenced on September 15, 2025.
The course coordinator, Inspector C Ross, during a graduation ceremony on Tuesday explained that the programme covered several key areas, such as conflict management, case management, crime scene management, and other subjects essential to modern policing.

“As the Guyana Police Force continues to transform, these programmes were carefully developed to equip ranks with the knowledge and skills needed to meet the changing demands of law enforcement,” Inspector Ross stated while emphasising the value of lifelong learning.
“Continuous learning is the minimum requirement in every field. Carry forward what you have learnt from your division.”
Director of the Training Academy, Woman Senior Superintendent Sonia Herbert, congratulated the graduates on their success and encouraged them to lead with wisdom, humility, and integrity.
“As you take up leadership roles, remember that leadership is not only about giving orders but also about inspiring confidence and fostering teamwork.”
She also urged the ranks to build on the foundation set during the course and to continue displaying discipline and professionalism within their respective divisions.
Delivering the feature address, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Administration), Ravindradat Budhram, commended the ranks for their commitment and perseverance throughout the training. He encouraged them to perform beyond the expectations of their current rank and to uphold the values of the Force at all times.
“Carry yourselves with dignity as you climb the ladder of success,” Budhram urged. “Let your actions reflect the pride and purpose of the Guyana Police Force.”
