COMMANDER of ‘B’ Division, Assistant Commissioner George Vyphuis was among senior Police officers sworn as Commissioners of Oaths and Justices of Peace last Friday.

They took the oaths in front of Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at New Amsterdam Court, in Berbice, giving them more authority to act in cases of emergency.

The others were Superintendents Dereck Younge and Marlon Chapman and Assistant Superintendent Stephen Mansell.

The Monday before, Superintendent Linden Alves and Assistant Superintendent Fizal Karimbaksh swore before the same magistrate.

Deputy Superintendent Ian Amsterdam and Assistant Superintendents Gary Mc Allister, Clayton Costello, Linden Denny, Calvin Brutus, Ivelaw Murray and Leroy Albert are to do similarly this week.
