The Guyana Police Force (GPF) hosted its Annual Route March earlier this morning (Saturday, July 5, 2025) in celebration of the Forceโ€™s 186th anniversary.

With more than 2,300 participants representing police ranks this year, including Community Policing Groups (CPGs), the Credit Union Department, and the Scouts Association, this yearโ€™s parade stood out as one of the largest. Participants made their way through the capital with military precision, cheered on by onlookers who lined the route from early morning.

The parade commenced from the Tactical Services Unit (TSU) Drill Square, Eve Leary, then proceeded along Parade Street, through Lamaha, Camp Street, and into Brickdam, before making its way back to Police Headquarters. The parade passed officials, including Minister of Home Affairs, Honourable Robeson Benn, where he received salutes from the marching contingents.

Commissioner of Police Mr Clifton Hicken, joined by Senior Officers and Heads of Departments, commended the participants at the presentation ceremony for their commitment. The awards segment was chaired by Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Mr Errol Watts.

Winners in each category were announced as follows:

The Annual Route March continues to be a flagship event on the GPFโ€™s calendar, blending tradition and youth engagement.

As the Guyana Police Force marks 186 years of dedicated service, the Route March served as a reminder that strength, discipline, and community spirit continue to drive the nationโ€™s law enforcement forward.
