Two business entities yesterday provided two different means of transportation to the Police ‘C’ Division (East Coast Demerara).
Persaud’s Engineering Limited handed over a motorcycle worth $260,000, while Mr. Jailall Deodass of Motor Trend Auto Repairs chose to refurbish one of the Division’s old police patrol cars at a cost of $450,000.

At the simple handing over ceremony held Wednesday at the Divisional Headquarters in Cove and John, Commander Eric Bassant explained that the car will be primarily used to serve the community of Enmore.
He further noted that because of the terrain, the motorcycle will be put to use in areas like Turkeyen and Sophia.
The Commander pointed out that the gesture is the beginning of what he hopes to be a “fruitful relation between the Police and the citizenry”.
Bassant added that ever since the effort was made to have regular consultations with members of the public, its police- citizen relationship has been made stronger.
Commander Bassant expressed gratitude for the gestures and assured that the vehicles will be used to ensure the safety of the public.
