Police brave rain in Route March
Dressed in their distinguished uniforms, over 500 officers on bikes, ATV’s and horses of the different arms of the Guyana Police Force as well as scouts across the nation, braved the weather and completed their annual police march on Saturday.
The 30 groups included ranks from the Tactical Service Unit (TSU), Community Policing Groups, Immigration Officers, ranks from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the Traffic Department
The winning ranks of TSU making their final salute.
Assembling at the Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, officers of the different divisions marched out proudly to Brickdam to give their first salute to the Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee.
The ranks and other groups made their way through Eve Leary, then to Young Street; into Parade Street, then to Lamaha Street, before entering Waterloo and Regent Streets.
They then marched up to the Avenue of the Republic into Church Street then to Cummings Street.
But the pounding rain drenched the marchers on Parade Street. The rain did not lessen until the march ended at Eve Leary.
However, ranks from the Guyana Police Force band had to be transported by a bus to protect their instruments.
The march ended with the officers giving a final salute to the Commissioner of Police Leroy Brumell and the other senior officers of the Guyana Police Force including Crime Chief Seelall Persaud.
At the centre of attraction was a dog which is said to be a yearly participant in the march followed the ranks of TSU as they did their eye right to the officials.
At the awards ceremony, the ranks of TSU walked away with the top honours; along with the female officers of the Immigration Department.
