The presentations were made yesterday at the Commissioner of Police’s Conference Room, Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, in the presence of Officers of the Senior Management Team.
Managing Director of NAMILCO, Roopnarine Sukhai, in making the presentation, noted that he was motivated to assist the Force with the equipment after he was involved in a vehicular accident and there was no Breathalyser available at the station during the investigation. He expressed the willingness of his company to assist with having the equipment recalibrated annually, through the suppliers.
Commissioner Leroy Brumell in response expressed gratitude for the timely gesture, which he said will assist meaningfully in traffic enforcement and the Police Force’s efforts in maintaining road safety.
Managing Director of NAJAB Trading, Mohamed Najab, who is a former member of the Police Force, made what he referred to as an ‘initial donation’ of mattresses and pillows, primarily for use by ranks undergoing training at the Felix Austin Police College (FAPC).
He opined that once the environment during initial training was comfortable, healthy and conducive to learning, it would motivate the ranks to give better performances upon leaving the institution.
He also pledged to provide further assistance with mosquito nets.
