The government of Guyana is actively exploring innovative measures, including the use of ankle monitoring systems, to enhance its efforts in combating domestic violence. Home Affairs Minister Oneidge Walrond emphasized the importance of these strategies in ensuring greater safety, accountability, and support for victims. The proposed ankle monitoring bracelets would enable authorities to track offenders’ movements in real time, issuing automated alerts if they approach restricted areas or come near victims. This proactive approach aims to prevent further harm and ensure swift intervention. Walrond highlighted the government’s commitment to creating a secure environment, stating, ‘We have a mandate from the people to deliver a safe and secure country. People want to feel secure and have a standard of living where they can walk down the street with their children without worry.’ The Safe City Initiative, which employs facial recognition, vehicle tracking, and license plate recognition, has already improved response times in investigations and contributed to community safety. Additionally, an alert app functioning as a panic button is being developed to further empower citizens. Despite these advancements, Walrond stressed the need to build trust between the public and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to ensure transparency and accountability at every stage. ‘People want to feel that there is a police force they can trust, that cares, and that will respond to them,’ she added.
