Minister of Home Affairs, Hon’ble Robeson Benn, today (June 13, 2025) delivered closing remarks at the conclusion of a Special Operations Course conducted for members of Guyana’s law enforcement agencies. The intensive training was led by French Special Operations experts, with a focus on intelligence gathering and practical operational techniques.

Joining Minister Benn at the ceremony were Director of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU), Mr. James Singh, and Colonel Sheldon Howell, Director of the National Intelligence and Security Agency.

The initiative marks another milestone in the ongoing security cooperation between Guyana and French authorities in Martinique and French Guiana (Cayenne). The partnership has already yielded significant results, including major drug seizures and enhanced operational coordination.

Minister Benn commended the participants and expressed gratitude to the French team for their continued support in bolstering Guyana’s capacity to significantly tackle transnational organised crime and narcotics trafficking.

This collaborative effort reflects continued improvements and a shared commitment to regional security and the disruption of criminal networks across borders.
