THE police in ‘E’ Division (Linden) through their Commander, Superintendent Calvin Brutus with the help of Traffic Officer Inspector Forbes Browne and Officer- in -Charge of the Wismar station, Inspector Oswald Pitt, last Sunday hosted a medical outreach for the community of Linden.

The medical outreach saw over 50 people from the community of Victory Valley, Wismar gather at the Victory Valley ground to test their blood pressure; glucose level; dental care; counselling and educational advice, among others.

Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and medications were allocated to the police by the Ministry of Health Mackenzie Hospital Complex, while transportation for the medical personnel, food and snacks were provided by ‘E’ Division police.
Speaking with the Chronicle, Commander Brutus said that the medical event will be a monthly one in various villages throughout Linden; he said that the next medical outreach will be in the next two weeks at the Christianburg Community Centre ground.
Since taking over the division a few months ago, Brutus has already planned various events for the communities of Linden, Ituni, Kwakwani and environs: forming of youth groups, meetings with the business community and also various sporting events.
Brutus said that after he would have seen the reduction in crime in his division, he will also renovate the Victory Valley ground where fencing, levelling and making goals will be done.
He said that there is a need for the renovation to be done, because he sees the need for it. “Every afternoon after school, I will see the children playing football on the road corners and with the renovating of this ground, it will be much safer for the youths and more sporting could be done,” Brutus said.
