GPF 2012 work study programme concludes

Sep 02, 2012 News

Over the past two months 35 children from across the country were given an opportunity to get a firsthand look at the operation of the Guyana Police Force having being placed within the organization for work study.
On Friday, last, the young men and women were recognised with a simple farewell ceremony for their contribution during their stint with the institution, which included being placed in departments such as the finance office, general office and Criminal Investigation photography department.
The students were drawn from the Scouts Group which is also run by the Guyana Police Force.
Assistant Commissioner Mr. Balram Persaud addressed the gathering which included proud parents and their children.
He told the students that it was a pleasure for the force to have had them around, while noting that their contribution will go a far way. He added that the stint with the force will no doubt impact on their lives as they prepare for the world of work.
Persaud further urged the scouts to make the best of whatever they would have learnt and apply it in every other working environment they plan to venture into. He also lauded the scouts for their dedication, as many of them opted to stay on until school is ready to be opened, despite being offered a one-week break to prepare for the new school year. Each student who participated was presented with a certificate of participation.
Over the years the Guyana Police Force has been affording young men and women opportunities to development themselves by way of various programmes throughout the year. Some of these include the Scouts group, youth camps and the Tiger Bay outreach.
