Police “A” Division Youth Expo a success
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) “A” Division Youth Expo held at Durban Park yesterday was a considerable success. Despite the persistent rain, scores of youths from all areas and municipalities of Georgetown turned out to interact and socialise.
The Expo started at 10:00hrs and featured thirty booths, most of which displayed career and entrepreneurship opportunities available.

In the latter half of the day there was a special stage show for the children. The show featured cultural dances, an acrobatic display and performances from local artistes that included “Kwasi Ace” and “Alabama”.
This part of the expo was especially popular with the children and they were an energetic crowd as they jumped, ran, and “palanced” to the music, at one point Commander Hicken joined Kwasi Ace onstage and entertained the youths who screamed in delight.
