POLICE ‘C’ Division Commander (ag.), Senior Superintendent Lawrence Kissoon on Monday launched a youth group at the Turkeyen Police Station with over 60 youths from ages 5 to 17.

The youth group will be assisted by 16 adults with the help of members of the station management committee. Among the 60 youths are those from South Turkeyen, ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ Field Sophia.
Speaking with the Chronicle, Commander Kissoon said: “We want to produce citizens who will contribute meaningfully to society. We will train them morally and socially so they could be acceptable and conduct themselves properly in the future. Youths are the future of tomorrow, we don’t know who could be who and we will work to bring good to these youths.”
The Commander noted that since Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud had taken over and with Commander of ‘C’ Division Christopher Griffith, who is now on leave, the division has seen a reduction in crime. He said that with the training of the youths incidents of crime will become even lower.
Kissoon also urged businessmen to take necessary security measures such as installing surveillance cameras which will help the police to catch criminals even faster. He assured residents that police will be patrolling day and night in various areas.
Meanwhile, the Commander is urging members of the public who may see a crime being committed to take photographs and send them to the police via BBM. He said the police BBM Pin can be found at any police station or outpost.
