US military personnel from Guyana conduct medical skills exchange with RGPF

In a significant demonstration of bilateral cooperation, US military personnel stationed at the US Embassy in Guyana recently conducted specialized training sessions for officers from the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF). The training, held from November 17 to 19, 2025, focused on enhancing first-response capabilities and improving emergency medical care for injured individuals before they reach medical facilities. The initiative involved 28 RGPF officers from various departments, alongside US military trainers, underscoring the shared commitment to public safety and professional development. On the final day of the training, RGPF Commissioner Randy Connaught and US Embassy Grenada Principal Officer Cindy Diouf observed the sessions and interacted with participants, including new RGPF recruits. Diouf expressed her gratitude for the collaboration, highlighting the achievements made possible through joint efforts. This training is part of ongoing cooperation agreements between Grenada and the US, which focus on national and regional security. However, the collaboration comes amidst unresolved discussions regarding a request from the Trump Administration to install radar equipment and technical personnel at Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA). Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, also the Minister for National Security and Civil Aviation, emphasized that technical and safety considerations are still being evaluated, with no decision yet made. Mitchell assured that any agreement would comply with both domestic and international laws, reflecting Grenada’s commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty while fostering international partnerships.
