Nine GPD Recruits and One GPD Officer Test Positive for COVID-19
The Guam Police Department (GPD) has confirmed that ten Police Officer Trainees from GPD’s 11th Police Officer Training Cycle have tested positive for COVID-19. The initial case was identified last week when a trainee reported feeling sick. The same trainee reported a relative had recently tested positive for COVID-19. All ten trainees are currently in isolation with the remaining cohort in quarantine at home. 

In addition to the confirmed cases within the cycle, one officer assigned to the Dededo Precinct Command also tested positive for COVID-19. The officer is currently in home isolation.

All academic instruction previously held at the Hakubotan Building has been suspended and will be done remotely and administered by the Guam Community College. GPD has and will continue to adhere to strict health and safety protocols as well as perform routine sanitization of the training center before every class. 

GPD is working closely with the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) to ensure proper contact training and testing is provided. 

To date, there have been a total of 32 confirmed cases within GPD.
