THE Guyana Police Force hosted the Annual Trainees’ Christmas Luncheon on Friday at the Police Officers’ Mess Annexe where recruits were given a break from their arduous training and treated to an enticing meal and other goodies, served to them by the hierarchy of the force.

Present at the luncheon were: Deputy Commissioner ‘Administration’ and COP (Ag), Mr. Paul Williams, Deputy Commissioner ‘Operations’, Maxine Graham, Assistant Commissioner ‘Training’, Clifton Hicken; Ministry of Public Security’s Permanent Secretary, Ms. Danielle McCalmon; Divisional and Branch Commanders and other Senior and Junior Officers.

The Trainees’ Luncheon, which is a tradition of the Force, is held in December for recruits of the three police colleges (Felix Austin Police College, Georgetown, FAPC Adventure, Berbice and Richard Faikall Police College, Suddie, Essequibo).

The luncheon also serves as a platform for the future police men/women to showcase some of their talents and items such as: group dances, poems, songs and some even described their life in the colleges, much to the amusement of the audience.

The programme concluded with a grand finale where the trainees’ all came together on the floor and performed a dance entitled “the Electric Slide” which had everyone shaking to the tunes.
