GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Guyana Police Force (GPF) Monday said that local police officers are being trained in fighting corruption through a joint Caribbean project by the United Kingdom and the United States.
Participants will engage in a structured programme covering key areas, including anti-corruption practices, Guyana’s legal framework for investigations and offences, and asset recovery. The sessions are designed to enhance both operational effectiveness and investigative capacity,” the GPF said in a statement.
The GPF said that the three-day Anti-Corruption Workshop 2026 forms part of ongoing efforts to improve transparency, accountability, and professionalism through strategic international partnerships and targeted capacity-building initiatives.
The officers are receiving specialised instruction under the U.S.-U.K. Criminal Justice Reform Programme, a collaborative initiative involving the United States Embassy Georgetown and the British High Commission Georgetown.
The workshop is being facilitated by regional and international experts, including Sirah Abraham, Advisor to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, and Alex Ferguson and Nigel Parke of Jamaica’s Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency.
The U.S.-U.K. Criminal Justice Reform Programme is a multi-year initiative focused on strengthening criminal justice systems across Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, with particular emphasis on policy development, legislative support, and institutional reform.
