Over 800 Police ranks, 200 members of Police Force youth groups enrolled in first phase of Guyana Digital School

Deputy Commissioner “Administration” Mr. Ravindradat Budhram on Friday, March 20, 2026, addressed trainees, Sergeants, Inspectors, and ranks of the Junior Leadership Course at the Officer Training Centre, Camp Road, Georgetown, where he delivered a motivational session focused on discipline, personal development, and professional responsibility.

During his remarks, Deputy Commissioner Budhram encouraged the ranks to take full advantage of the opportunities available to them at the training institution, particularly those being created through modern technology and online learning platforms. He placed special emphasis on the Guyana Digital School platform, noting that in its first phase, over 800 police ranks and 200 members of Police Youth Groups have already been enrolled. He described the initiative as a valuable avenue through which ranks and young people can broaden their knowledge, strengthen their academic foundation, and better prepare themselves for future advancement.

He explained that members of the Force must be prepared to develop themselves through disciplined training, sound judgment, and smart decision-making.

Deputy Commissioner Budhram also emphasised the importance of responsible financial management, warning ranks against harmful influences and urging them to remain focused on their personal and professional goals.

Drawing from his own experiences, he reminded those gathered that success comes through hard work, continuous learning, self-awareness, and a willingness to improve.

The session concluded with a strong appeal for the ranks to remain committed to discipline, effective communication, and their duties, as they prepare themselves for active service to the nation (Guyana Police Force press release)
