“It is one thing for us to say that the police need to do much more, and we have the means of helping the police and we are not doing anything,” Minister Persaud said.
Brumell said that the donation is a very timely one and is very welcomed by the force. He said he is quite sure that the Commander in the E&F Division will ensure that they are used for the right purposes.
