Delivering the feature address Rev. Murtland Raphael Massiah, commended the force for the good work they have done for the citizens of Guyana in the past 179 years. He encouraged the officers to rediscover and uphold the values they were raised on
“You must re-discover your set of values, you must cherish those values and you must protect those values and make those values clear and don’t shift from it. By embracing those values, you will survive [another]179 years.”
The Drum Service concluded with a benediction by Rev. Massiah, singing of the national anthem and the unpiling of drums.
