The “message” was delivered by Officiating Celebrant Reverend Derrick Anderson.
During the service, several retired and serving members of the Force were rewarded with plaques by Commander, Senior Superintendent Errol Watts, and his team for their service and sterling contributions to the Force.
Commander Watts, to mark the occasion of the Force’s 182nd Anniversary, also commissioned the “Nigel Hoppie Walkway” in the presence of the Top Cop at Regional Headquarters, Leonora Police Station.
The new walkway which is located at the front entrance of the Leonora Police Station compound and leads all the way into the station is fully paved with concrete and tile flooring and is also complete with a shed, to protect visitors to the station from rain and sun.
