Thirty-nine members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) who are currently attending the University of Guyana and the Nations University have received a donation of stationery and other paraphernalia from P&P Insurance Brokers, located at North Road and King Street in Georgetown.
The presentation was made on Friday morning by P&P Director Vickash Panday to Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud at the GPF Conference Room at Eve Leary, Georgetown. The beneficiary ranks and second-in-command of the Force’s Administration, Assistant Commissioner Maxine Graham, were present to witness the handing-over proceedings.

In brief remarks, Panday explained that he has been very impressed by the performance of police personnel over the years, and also because a large number of GPF members are being allowed to pursue studies at the University of Guyana and at other institutions of higher learning, resulting in a more educated, professional, effective and pro-active Police Force.
Commissioner Seelall Persaud, in accepting the donation — worth in excess of $100,000 — thanked Panday for his timely gesture and for his recognition of the many positive strides that the Guyana Police Force has been making for its members and that of the public they serve.
The thirty-nine ranks are pursuing studies leading to Masters degrees in Public Management and Administration, besides degrees and diplomas in Public Management, Social Work, Criminology and Psychology, International Relations, Banking and Finance, Sociology, Human Resource Management, Accounts, Biology, Computer Science and Cambridge Pre-Law.
