Dear Editor,
COMMUNITIES are contaminated with crime, corruption, cultural conflicts, communal constriction, and communication collapse.
These negative elements corroborate the convincing conclusion that society needs immediate attention to address social ills in every nook and cranny.
As such, as its mandatory civic duty, the Leonora Police Station Management Committee has commenced a meet the people programme in collaboration and consultation with the officers of the Leonora Police Station.
This effort will create the ideal opportunity for the members of the LPSMC and the Guyana Police Force to better familiarise themselves with the surroundings, understand the people and analyse the social problems facing Region Three, in particular villages in close proximity.
The LPSMC also intends to work along with sister Police Station Management Committees and Community Policing Groups (CPG) in order to bridge gaps, forge friendships and attempt to prevent the spread of problems by identifying them in their early stages and reporting them to the relevant authorities.
The Leonora Police Station Management Committee in association again with the police from the Leonora Police Station, has started a food hamper distribution project in order to enhance its social service commitments towards the less fortunate.
This is an ideal opportunity to easily liaise with members of the community and to provide service to humanity.
The LPSMC along with the police from Leonora, will donate 30 hampers per month (a one a day project). The event started last Sunday to dozens residing in Leonora, Anna Catherina, Zeeburg and Zeelugt.

Yours respectfully,
Jai Lall
