Guyanese police assisted with security at Commonwealth summit

By Staff Editor Thu, November 12 2026, 2:03 AM GMT-4

Twenty-nine Guyana Police Force (GPF) ranks helped provide security at the 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), held in Antigua and Barbuda from November 1 to 4.

In a statement on Facebook, the GPF said the ranks were deployed through Guyana’s membership in the Regional Security System (RSS). Assistant Commissioner of Police Khalid Mandall led the Guyanese contingent and also commanded the contingent drawn from RSS member states.

The Guyanese team included close protection officers, an explosive ordnance disposal team and traffic outriders. They worked alongside ranks from other Caribbean countries throughout the meeting, which drew representatives from 56 Commonwealth member states.
