The Guyana Government on Wednesday called for greater international support to help developing countries strengthen their policing capabilities, including through technology transfer, specialised training, and enhanced capacity-building initiatives.

The call was made by Home Affairs Minister Oneidge Walrond at the Fifth United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit (UNCOPS 2026) – Session Two: Innovation and New Technologies in United Nations Policing.

She explained that Guyana recognises that technology is transforming the security landscape and creating new opportunities for more effective, accountable, and citizen-centred policing, adding that the Government has been making the necessary investments under the Guyana Police Force Strategic Plan 2022–2026.
