Permanent Secretary Inspects Construction Site of Mocha Police Station and IT Training Complex

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ms. Mae Toussaint Jr. Thomas, led a team to the Mocha Police Station and the Guyana Police Force Information Technology Training Complex, where she inspected the progress of the works carried out.

The visit was part of an ongoing capital project inspection to verify that contractors are moving apace with their work while also ensuring that the amount of work being done at the various sites allows for timely completion of the projects.

The Mocha Police Station, which is being constructed at a cost of over G$82M, is currently at 40% completion, with the ground floor columns and walls completed. All staircases were casted, and the contractor is currently waiting to cast the first floor columns, beams, and slab.

Information technology is an integral part of the Guyana Police Force’s modernization and strategic development.

During the inspection of the ongoing works at the Information Technology Training Complex, which is currently being constructed in the Grove Police Station Compound, Ms. Thomas was informed that the project is on schedule.

This project is being expended at a cost of over G$100M and is one of four training facilities that are being constructed across Guyana.

At approximately 40% completion, this centre will not only be open to the Police ranks but will also serve members of the public by providing basic ICT training and computer engineering courses.
