As the Guyana Police Force prepares to celebrate its 185th Anniversary tomorrow, July 1st, Safeguarding Our Nation announces the premiere of its second episode, featuring Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken outlining record drops in serious crime and a vision for rebuilding public trust.
In a candid conversation with moderator Marcia Hope, Commissioner Hicken described the Force’s transformation, driven by modern training, accountability, and stronger community partnerships.
“I joined the Force because I believed in protecting and serving the people of Guyana, and that mission hasn’t changed,” Commissioner Hicken said. “Today, we’re building a Police Service that is modern, professional, and trusted by all Guyanese.”
The episode features animated visuals illustrating the scale of progress, including the following graphic illustrating these results (available for publication):
While acknowledging that many citizens still feel unsafe, the Commissioner stressed that rebuilding trust is an ongoing priority: “We know crime isn’t just about numbers—it’s about how people feel. We are working every day to earn that trust, and we invite the public to hold us accountable and be our partners in building a safer Guyana.”
