Efforts are underway in Region Six (East Corentyne, Berbice) to establish a network of CCTV surveillance camera systems similar to those in Georgetown. The installation of cameras is currently in progress at strategic locations throughout the region. This initiative is a pivotal aspect of the $2 billion “Safe Country” program, which received allocation in the 2023 Budget through the National Data Management Authority (NDMA).
The “Safe Country” program serves as an extension of the pre-existing “Safe City Initiative.” The former encompasses the creation of an integrated National Emergency Response Command Centre (NERCC), complemented by an expansive network of CCTV cameras. As the NDMA takes the lead in implementing this system, it is being executed in close collaboration with the Guyana Police Force (GPF). The GPF will assume operational control over the command centre, where vigilant monitoring of the camera feeds will occur.
