Residents of Region Two are set to benefit from improved policing services following the commissioning of the reconstructed Anna Regina Police Station on Tuesday, built at a cost of more than $185 million.
Minister of Home Affairs Oneidge Walrond, who delivered the feature address, described the new facility as “a clear statement, of commitment, of investment, and of intent,” adding that it reflects the government’s determination to ensure that the people of Pomeroon-Supenaam receive better policing and public service.
The station is equipped with male, female, juvenile, and isolation holding cells, along with specialised spaces including a Child-Friendly Area and a Domestic Violence Interview and Waiting Room. Key operational areas such as CID, Traffic, Enquiries, evidence storage, and living quarters for ranks are also included in the facility.
Minister Walrond said the station is designed to meet the realities of policing a growing region with dispersed communities, active commerce, and expanding economic activity. She noted that the investment will help police respond more effectively while giving residents greater confidence in the justice system.
The Minister also highlighted the strong performance of Regional Division No. 2, which recorded a 39.2 percent reduction in crime and a 54.2 percent clear-up rate in 2025, saying the new facility will help build on that momentum.
The commissioning forms part of a wider push to upgrade security infrastructure in Region Two, alongside investments at Charity and the Anna Regina Divisional Headquarters. Minister Walrond urged officers to maintain high standards of professionalism and called on residents to view the station as a community institution that belongs to them.
