Guyana police spend $3.6B on 193 intelligent surveillance sites, 260 more underway

The Guyana Police Force invested $3.6B in H1 2026 to complete 193 IVS sites, with 260 more in progress, part of a $4.75B broader investment. This expands state surveillance infrastructure, likely aimed at crime prevention in a country with growing oil wealth. The scale and pace suggest a significant national security commitment, though effectiveness and privacy implications remain to be seen.
