During the presentation of this year’s budget, Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh had said that the $47.9B allocation for the security sector will be used “towards ensuring the restoration and preservation of law and order at all levels in our society”.

Out of the $47.9B allocated for the sector, some $4.9B is expected to strengthen the assets of the Guyana Police Force (GPF). The Guyana Police Force was allocated a total of $17.5 billion this year from the budget and like the Den Amstel Police Station; stations such as Baramita, Rose Hall are slated to be reconstructed.
