Eighty-five youths between the ages 5-16 years were treated to a good time that included gifts, food and songs. The event was held at Agatash Community Centre and was supported by parents, residents and the business community.
‘F’ Division Commander Senior Superintendent Ravindradat Budhram said the event is one of the many activities planned for the youths who are engaged throughout the year.
“They, the youths are the future and therefore we have to engage them at an early stage in their life to aid in a safe and healthy environment,” Commander Budhram said
The Commander explained that youth leadership camps provide an opportunity for police departments to teach, inspire, and motivate future community leaders.
“Law enforcement officers play a vital role in encouraging youths to become positive role models, enabling them to realize their full potential to lead and become better citizens. Police youth leadership camps are an effective way for departments to influence these young lives and improve police-community relations,” the senior superintendent said.
He explained that the camps offer participating youth’s greater responsibility and an opportunity to provide public service, enhanced community awareness, and a positive purpose in life. Encouraging young people to serve others and make a difference improves community safety and welfare.
