Guyana’s police ranks can look forward to continued training from Russia over
the next year.
This commitment was given by Russia’s Ambassador to Guyana, His Excellency Nikolay Smirnov, when he met the Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan on Monday to discuss matters of mutual interest.
Also present at the meeting was Coordinator of the Task Force on Narcotic Drugs and Illicit Weapons, Major General (Retired) Michael Atherly.
The Russian Government has been facilitating training for Guyanese policemen over several years and intends to extend such training to programmes being done at the Regional Counter Drug Law-Enforcement Training Centre in Managua and the Russian-Cuban Fire and Rescue Training Center in Havana.
The aim of this training is to strengthen the capacity of participants to fight illicit drug traffic and prevent, cope and recover from natural disasters, fires and other emergencies.
One Police Sergeant has recently been admitted to the “Incident Site Inspection Finger-Printing Identification Programme” to be held in Moscow University of the Ministry of Interior of Russia from March 28 – April 26.
The recent abolishment of the visa requirement between the two countries now facilitates easy travel of Guyanese policemen to Russia.
Apart from training of police ranks, Minister Ramjattan and the Russian Envoy discussed the signing of an agreement on cooperation between the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Public Security of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
The Agreement will strengthen the bilateral legal framework for interaction between law enforcement agencies of the two countries.
An earlier Agreement on cooperation between the Federal Service of the Russian Federation for Narcotics Traffic Control and the Ministry of Public Security signed in Havana, in February 2012, was also considered to establish progress made in this regard.
