Overseas-based Guyanese donates CCTV cameras to Haslington
Overseas-based Guyanese Gary Williams donated two high-end Closed-Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras to the community of Haslington on the East Coast of Demerara.
The cameras were installed by crew members of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) at Haslington New Scheme on Wednesday.
Police Commander for Regional Division 4C, Senior Superintendent Khali Pareshram; Officer-In-Charge of #1 sub-division, Assistant Superintendent M Ally; Corporal Robin and Constable Rigby of the Community Relations Office, along with Coretta De Jesus – the Haslington-Golden Grove Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) Chairwoman, formally received the two cameras on behalf of the residents and they all oversaw their installation at the entrance of the New Haslington Scheme.
Commander Pareshram urged stakeholders and businesses to invest in CCTV cameras within their communities, homes, and businesses.
He expressed gratitude to Williams for his kind and timely gesture and reassured him that the CCTV cameras would benefit the community. He stressed that they would be monitored for both detection and prevention of crime.
Pareshram noted that the use of more technology throughout his division will create a safer and more secure environment for residents. The live feed from the CCTV cameras will be viewed by ranks at the Divisional Headquarters.
