Georgetown: The Guyana Police Force (GPF) will be presenting its 2013 annual Christmas policing plan on November 11 at the Police Officers’ Mess, Secretary to the Cabinet Dr Roger Luncheon said.
The plan would move into implementation mode from November 15 to January 15, Luncheon said at his usual post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President in Georgetown.
According to him, crime and traffic control would dominate the proceedings. Stakeholders and the media invited to the occasion would be given the presentation labelled: “Heightened policing”.
Meanwhile, a comparable range of policing activities will take place in all of the other police divisions.
The Christmas policing plan has become a tradition for the GPF over the years and it seeks to have the private sector, the Chamber of Commerce, the media and Community Policing Groups involved.
The plan was formulated after all the divisional heads met to discuss a plan which will not only cover the Georgetown area. It is aimed at reducing and controlling crime, building confidence, reducing traffic accidents and traffic congestion during the Christmas season.
The plan usually entails patrols, the setting up of booths, raids, roadblocks, and river patrols. Furthermore, to make shoppers more comfortable, booths are usually set up in areas that have been vulnerable to crime.
