DEPUTY Commissioner (DC) Ravindradat Budhram, together with Mr. Sheryar Hussain of the NYPD Cricket Team, as well as Guyana/West Indies Cricketers, Shemar Joseph and Tevin Imlach, made a generous contribution of sports equipment and clothing to the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) under-15 and under-17 Cricket Teams.
The recent donation took place at the DDC Ground, located on Lance Gibbs Street, Queenstown, Georgetown.
Mr. Budhram and Mr. Hussain paid a visit to the Police Sports Club Ground, where they generously donated various football gears/equipment to the Guyana Police Force Football Club. The donation, which will contribute to the sport’s development, was received by Senior Superintendent Jermaine Johnson, President of the GPF Football Club, and Treasurer, Deputy Superintendent Ronald Ali.
The day’s events continued at Malteenoes Sports Club Ground, where members of the Under-17 Cricket team benefitted from the donation.
Soesdyke Falcons Football Club on the East Bank of Demerara also received sports equipment from the activity.
The youths were encouraged to stay in school, obey their parents, instructors, and elders, and avoid all forms of narcotics.
This collaboration between the Guyana Police Force, stakeholders, and other police agencies not only demonstrates the Guyana Police Force’s dedication to cultivating sporting potential but also emphasises the necessity of community support in developing the next generation of athletes.
The senior administration of the Guyana Police Force consistently promotes modern policing methods, where officers engage with local communities to facilitate their growth. This aligns with the Force’s Social Crime Prevention initiative, leading to a notable decrease in crime nationwide.
