The contingent of Police Ranks included Deputy Commissioner “Law Enforcement” Wendell Blanhum, together with other senior and junior ranks.
At the conclusion of the “Fitness Walk and Run”, Blanhum congratulated all the ranks, partners and participants for turning out in their numbers to support the activity.
The Crime Chief also indicated to the large gathering that there is a need to balance one’s work life with activities that promote and foster a healthy lifestyle.
He also encouraged them to continue to stay active and fit whether by walking, running, or making healthy choices daily.
Blanhum also noted that everyone was able to complete the journey through the rain due to teamwork which is a testimony to the theme of this year’s Fitness Walk and Run in practice.
