The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is moving to introduce a fully paperless police reporting system within the next six months, as part of a broader modernization and digital transformation effort. Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken makes the announcement in connection with the force’s aim to become more technology-driven and aligned with international policing practices.

According to the reports, the shift includes beginning to take police reports digitally within the six-month timeframe, moving away from traditional paper-based processes. The statements are made publicly by Hicken during the latest edition of the programme Police Roundup.

While the articles do not detail specific technical steps, timelines beyond the six-month target, or how reports will be handled during the transition, they consistently describe the initiative as part of an “aggressive modernization drive” intended to improve the efficiency of reporting and strengthen the force’s use of technology. No alternative timelines or constraints are cited in the coverage provided.
