Members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Monday and Tuesday conducted safety and education outreach sessions at schools in the Northwest District, Region One (Barima-Waini), and on the East Coast of Demerara, Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica), as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen relations with the public and promote awareness among children.
On Monday, Assistant Superintendent of Police Puran Narine, along with ranks from the Port Kaituma Police Station, delivered a lecture at the Port Kaituma Nursery and Primary School in the Northwest District. The engagement focused on the role of education and personal responsibility among students.

Several topics were addressed, including road safety, respect for others, punctuality, and maintaining orderly behaviour. Students were also advised to abstain from alcohol, reject child labour, and avoid dropping out of school. The ranks further encouraged students to report any incidents of child molestation to trusted adults such as parents or teachers.
A total of 23 teachers and 340 students were in attendance at the Port Kaituma session.
