Commander Hicken added that it is the nation’s responsibility to explore the talents of the youths especially in the fields that they are interested in. He highlighted that the Police Youth Groups focus on the interests of the communities relating to the crime levels and productivity of the youths.
Meanwhile, the Police Youth Groups will be providing training for the youths to shift themselves into entrepreneurship which will also assist in branding communities to bridge a relationship between the Police and communities.
The Commander stressed that that the initiative will help develop young entrepreneurship skills. He noted that parents are also interested in the initiative.
Commander Hicken noted that stakeholders are drawn to the initiative created to highlight the products made by the youths. He hopes that the products will be marketed within three months.
The youths will be showcasing their products at GuyExpo 2017 as part of the effort to expand their businesses.
The Police Youth Group is designed to develop the young people from various communities economically so that they in turn can positively contribute to their communities.
