Guyana’s Police Commissioner Leslie James says the country is not seeing an increase in crime.

He says statistics of reported criminal activity show there have been some incidents, but there has been no upsurge.

He also brushed aside claims that members of the public have lost confidence in the police force.

Commissioner James wants those who are saying this to provide the proof.
