The Guyana Police Force and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are strengthening their collaboration to improve how noise nuisance complaints are handled across Guyana. Representatives of the EPA meet with Commissioner of Police Dr. Clifton Hicken and senior police officials at the Commissioner’s Conference Room in Eve Leary, Georgetown, according to reports.
Under the initiative, police ranks across Guyana are set to receive specialised training. One outlet says police in all 12 policing divisions will be trained in noise monitoring and assessment, aiming to standardise how officers measure and evaluate noise issues. Both reports describe the effort as part of a broader attempt to build capacity within the police service and improve coordination with the EPA when complaints are made.
While both sources agree on the meeting and the training focus, they differ in emphasis: one highlights the planned training for police to respond more effectively to complaints, while the other specifies the geographic scope across all 12 divisions and the training areas related to monitoring and assessment.
