New $185M Anna Regina Police Station commissioned

Residents of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) will now benefit from improved policing services following the commissioning of the reconstructed Anna Regina Police Station. The new facility, built at a cost of more than $185 million, is intended to strengthen public safety, improve working conditions for officers, and provide better support services for members of the public.
Delivering the feature address at the commissioning, Home Affairs Minister, Oneidge Walrond said the station is a commitment by the Government to improving policing and public service delivery in the region.

The station is equipped with male, female, juvenile and isolation holding cells. It also includes specialised spaces such as a Child-Friendly Area and a Domestic Violence Interview and Waiting Room. Key operational areas include Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Traffic, Enquiries, evidence storage and living quarters for ranks. According to the Minister, the facility is designed to meet the needs of a growing region with dispersed communities and expanding economic activity. She noted that the investment will improve police responsiveness and build public confidence in the justice system. The Minister also highlighted that Regional Division No. Two recorded a 39.2 per cent reduction in crime and a 54.2 per cent clear-up rate in 2025. She said the new station is expected to support further improvements in policing across the region. Minister Walrond urged officers to maintain professionalism and encouraged residents to view the station as a community resource.
