The Brickdam Police Station ‘A’ Division Headquarters will be housed in a US$28 million modern 12-story building, replacing the previous wooden complex destroyed by fire on October 2, 2021.
The state-of-the-art edifice will comprise key departments, such as traffic, finance, and the impact base, and will include glass, concrete, and advanced safety features.
During his address at the sod-turning ceremony on Monday, President Irfaan Ali stated that the new structure will allow for the relocation of many services from the Eve Leary headquarters.
Meanwhile projects and initiatives planned for the GPF include education for the population, schools, and the private sector, and capacity building at the level of the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) through the mobile firefighting units.
The project is being undertaken by R Bassoo and Sons Construction in collaboration with Qing Jian Group Company Guyana Incorporated and is expected to be completed in 30 months.
