THE Community Policing Group and Station Management Committee (CPG/SMC) of the Guyana Police Force ‘A’ Division has donated caution reflectors and stop signs to the Brickdam Police Station.

In a simple ceremony, Mr. Mahendranauth Persaud, rural constable of the CPG, handed over the donation to ‘A’ Division Commander, Senior Superintendent, Clifton Hicken, last Tuesday; and said he had seen the need for the caution reflectors to be donated since, often, when the police are carrying out road blocks, it is hard for someone to recognise them on unlit or poorly lit roads.

He also said that the stop signs had been donated to be used on the junctions to caution vehicles to slow down or stop, and to be put where stop signs should be placed, especially on the highways just before pedestrian crossing signs.

Commander Hicken thanked the CPG/SMC for the donation, and urged other entities to do likewise, since such an act would not only be helping the police, but also pedestrians and road users.
