GPF receives 2 motorcycles to aid in crime-fighting
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has received a boost in its crime-fighting capabilities with the donation of two XR150 Honda motorcycles. The presentation took place at the Tactical Service Unit (TSU) square at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, Georgetown over the weekend.
The keys to the motorcycles were handed over to Commander of Regional Division #4 ‘C’ (East Coast Demerara), Assistant Commissioner Khali Pareshram, and Cadet Officer Garfield Campbell by the proprietor of A&S General Contractors Inc and his daughter.
The businessman emphasised that the donation aims to enhance the police force’s efficiency in combating crime while fostering a positive relationship between the police and the community.
Expressing their gratitude, Pareshram and Campbell assured the donors that the motorcycles would be utilised effectively to bolster the GPF’s operational capabilities. They reiterated the importance of such contributions in strengthening community-police partnerships and enhancing public safety.
The donation marks a step forward in equipping the GPF with necessary resources to address crime promptly and effectively. The new motorcycles are expected to enhance the mobility and responsiveness of police officers in their efforts to maintain law and order.
In January, the private sector in Guyana joined forces with the GPF to reinforce its commitment to combatting crime.
The Police Force had received a donation of 13 motorcycles from various private sector entities across the country, among which were Innovations America, J’s Supermarket, Two Brothers Service Station/ ShiOil, Jaigobin Hotel, and R. Kissoon Contracting Service.
