and are fully integrated with the national surveillance system, enabling real-time data transmission and incident monitoring.

Home Affairs Minister Robeson Benn praised the deployment as a vital tool in rebuilding public trust and professionalising the police force. He noted that technology brings “certitude in delivering service” and helps to build the confidence citizens expect from law enforcement.

The rollout of these cameras is part of a broader suite of security reforms and digital modernisation efforts, including roadside surveillance, mobile command units, and expanded training programmes to align police practices with international standards. The government’s strategy aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and service efficiency throughout the GPF.

Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken expressed gratitude for the significant investment, pledging the force’s continued commitment to public service reform. President Ali reaffirmed the government’s dedication to further strengthening the police force’s capacity and capability, highlighting ongoing efforts to upgrade and reform the entire law enforcement ecosystem for the benefit of all Guyanese.

The deployment of these 5,000 body cameras marks a significant milestone in Guyana’s journey toward a modern, transparent, and accountable police service.
