Police ‘B’ Division Traffic Department took full advantage of the regular use of the road to show that they are not only good on bikes and cars, but on their feet as well when they raced away with the Commander’s 4-mile road relay race in Berbice on Friday.
The event which was part of the activities organised by ‘B’ Division to mark the 174th anniversary of the Guyana Police Force was a six team contest involving the champions, Traffic , Sub Division One (Central Police Station/Canje East Bank), Sub Division Three (West Berbice) which placed 3rd, CID, Sub Division Two (Whim/Corentyne) and Special Constabulary.
The race got underway at 06:00hrs from Caribbean Cuisine at Number Two Village East Canje, journeyed along the Canje Highway, over the Canje Bridge into New Amsterdam to end at the junction of Main and St Ann Streets, New Amsterdam. Traffic maneuvered along the route much easier than their rivals to cross the finish line with consummate ease. Sub Division One (Central Police Station/Canje, East Bank) came in 2nd in Sub Division Three (West Berbice) coming in 3rd.
Each team was made up of an Officer, a Subordinate Officer (Sergeant, Corporal) a male Constable and a Female rank.
The champion team was Coach by ‘B’ Division Traffic Officer Superintendent Calvin Brutas and comprised of Corporal Denzel Marks, Woman Constable Chrishandra Wills, Male Constable Mark Edwards and Cadet Officer Ronald Alli who pulled away from his rivals in the final leg after a close encounter in the first three legs.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony at ‘B’ Division (New Amsterdam) Headquarters, Strand and Coburg Streets, Commander – Senior Superintendent Clifton Hicken congratulated the ranks for their efforts in making the event a success.
He noted that all the ranks would have exhibited the kind of discipline required for the Guyana Police Force while he also urged them to keep it up and not be complacent.
“You were required to fall in at 05:00 hrs and despite the inclement weather you did so”. He noted that getting up early and exercising is part of good policing and encouraged the ranks to keep fit so that they can execute their duties in a professional way. (Samuel Whyte)
