“We have come a long way from the George potato image…” – Reverent John Smith
Ranks of the Guyana Police Force yesterday assembled at the Police Headquarters, Eve Leary to celebrate its 174th anniversary with its traditional Drum Head Service.
The event which was held at the Police Headquarters, Eve Leary featured prayers from the three major religions in Guyana. The Drum Head service followed.
There were also performances from the Guyana Police Force Choir and band. Among the renditions was the world renowned hit “We are the world”.
In his message to the “congregation” Rev. John Smith congratulated the officers on their service to Guyana but added that there was still a need for improvement in a number of sectors.
“We have come a long way from the George Potato image…being a policeman is not easy,” Smith said. He added that while abroad he read a new article which stated that there were 182 murders in Trinidad and Tobago with another three recently, in the space of three hours.
Rev Smith also made mention of a statement by the Commissioner of Police, “Turn in your badges if you can’t toe the line”. He urged them to always wear their uniform and badges with pride.
The Drum Head Service coincided with the birthday of the Commissioner’s wife.
On Sunday the Guyana Police Force held a fitness walk which proceeded along the Rupert Craig highway and ended at the Police headquarters in Eve Leary.
