I think that better days still lie ahead. Let us put the past behind,” he said.The Head of State added, that the formation of the National Security Council has been instrumental in ensuring that Government is heavily involved in supporting and working with the force to ensure that the crime situation in the country is arrested.“The Minister of Public Security is obliged to report to Cabinet every single Tuesday morning on the State of the Police Force and on the success in overcoming the crime problem. That’s how seriously we take it. We haven’t ignored it. We haven’t told the police you are paid to do a job go ahead and do it. We sit down and plan and strategise to make sure that Guyana can become a safe country for all of our citizens.”The President also assured that the Police Force will be given the resources it needs to enable it to make Guyana safe, and added that Government is working to have the Security Sector Reform Plan, offered by the British Government back on the table.“We have great plans for Guyana, but those plans will not bear fruit unless Guyana is a safe place and the Police Force is central to the safety of our citizens and the security of our nation”, the President told the senior officers.At the breakfast, too, Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud,cheap jerseys nfl wholesale, said that the new administration has created much hope in the Police Force through the announcement that the resource and welfare issues will be addressed.“We are very motivated.
