NYPD law enforcement veterans donate cricket gear to GPF

The NYPD Law Enforcement Veterans Cricket Team (LEVCT) has once again exemplified its dedication to promoting friendship, unity, and community engagement through sport by donating a collection of cricket gear to the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Officers’ Cricket Team.
The official handover ceremony was held at Police headquarters, Eve Leary in Georgetown, in the office of Deputy Commissioner (Administration) Ravindradat Budhram. Deputy Commissioner Budhram, who also captains the GPF Officers’ Cricket Team, was joined by Vice Captain, Superintendent Ronald Alli.
Representing the LEVCT were Sheryar Hussain and Jaswant Kumar Dyal, who travelled to Guyana to personally deliver the donation and reinforce the longstanding bond between the two law enforcement organisations.
This generous contribution is part of the LEVCT’s ongoing initiative to support the development of sports and youth engagement programmes in Guyana. Over the years, the team has worked closely with the GPF to distribute cricket equipment to underserved communities and promote positive interaction between the Police and the public.

These efforts have been instrumental in fostering trust, camaraderie, and mutual respect, both within the Force and among the citizens they serve.
This year’s donation holds special significance as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of the passing of NYPD Officer Randolph Holder, a proud Guyanese-American who was tragically killed in the line of duty.
In tribute to his legacy and service, the LEVCT is planning a commemorative visit to Guyana in October. During the visit, they will participate in friendly cricket matches against the GPF and other local teams, further strengthening their international ties and shared love for the game.
The LEVCT expressed heartfelt appreciation to the Police Commissioner, Clifton Hicken; Deputy Commissioner Budhram and the entire administration of the GPF for their unwavering support, hospitality, and commitment to maintaining this enduring partnership.
The team also acknowledged the NYPD Fraternal Organisation for its continued encouragement of initiatives that bridge cultures, uplift communities, and honour those who have served with distinction.
