Iwokrama rewards police
On Thursday June 14, 2012, the Guyana Police Force received a plaque from the Iwokrama International Centre. This was a special appreciation award in recognition of the Guyana Police Force’s continuous reliable and efficient support to the Iwokrama River Lodge, Kurupukari.
In the photograph attached, Dr. Raquel Thomas (centre) is seen handing over the plaque to Superintendent Lawrence Kissoon, while Ms. Ann Marie Forde of Iwokrama looks on.
Ranks of the Police ‘E&F’ (Interior) Division are tasked with the maintenance of law and order and forest conservation.
Making the presentation on behalf of Iwokrama was Dr. Raquel Thomas who lauded the willingness of the police ranks to assist when required. She also lauded the positive working relationship that exists between the two agencies, while expressing the hope for improved co-operation in the future.
In addition to normal policing, the ranks interact with the Iwokrama personnel through talks on pertinent issues such as domestic violence and the use of drugs.
Second-in-Command of the Division, Superintendent Lawrence Kissoon, who received the plaque on behalf of the Force, expressed sincere gratitude to Iwokrama for the significant gesture of appreciation and recognition and pledged the Force’s continuous support for forest conservation and the work of the Iwokrama staff.
The simple ceremony was held in the Commissioner’s Conference Room in the presence of the Police Force’s Senior Management team which included the acting Commissioner Mr. Leroy Brumell, DSM, and Divisional and Branch Commanders.
