As the Guyana Police Force (GPF) continues their country wide community interactive sessions, the force has decided to up its interactive session a notch as it leads the way in tackling the many social ills that is plaguing the society at this time.
The Police B Division has been receiving kudos for its lead role in doing things differently.
Led by Divisional Commander of the Police B Division, Assistant Commissioner Ian Amsterdam, the ranks recently joined with a number of community based and Non-Governmental organisations to successfully organise a fitness run and walk against social ills in the society.
The walk was held in subdivision No1 which is the New Amsterdam/ Canje, East Bank, East Coast Berbice areas through the Streets of New Amsterdam.
Commander Amsterdam was accompanied by a number of senior officers from all the subdivision including the No2 (Lower and Upper Corentyne and Corentyne River) and No3 (West Berbice) along with Traffic department, CID and Special Constabulary, Neighbourhood Police and Community Policing Groups. Some members of the public also participated in the event.
The walk, which was coordinated by Station Sergeant of the Central Police Station Marlon O’Donoghue and Woman Inspector Yonnette Stephen, began at 07:00 hrs at Lot 60 Stanleytown, traversed along the main road in New Amsterdam and concluded at Central Police Station at the B Division Police Headquarters at Strand and Couburg Street New Amsterdam.
At the station the ranks were carried through a series of warm down exercises and drills by Assistant Commissioner Amsterdam and other senior ranks.
Apart from the activity being a part of the force’s 177th anniversary celebrations, it was also a part of the 50th Independence Anniversary observance, it was also held to keep ranks fit and to incorporate members of the public in the police activities.
