Officials of the Guyana Ex-Police Association of America Inc. on Thursday made a presentation of the sum of $241,850 to the Guyana Police Force towards its Scholarship Fund (Bursary Award).
A release from the police force said that the presentation was made in the Commissioner’s Conference Room, at Police Headquarters, by the Association’s President Leon Gibbons, who was accompanied by the First Vice-President Leroy Charles and Secretary Cecil Williams.
Gibbons also pledged the further donation of a number of computers for use at the Tactical Services Unit.
Acting Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud, who received the donation, expressed gratitude on behalf of the Guyana Police Force.
He stated that the Force was very committed towards ensuring that the welfare of members remains of utmost importance and noted that the contribution by the Association will be of significant assistance, the release said.
Members of the Guyana Ex-Police Association of America Inc. and a team from the Guyana Ex-Police Association of Canada are presently in the country participating in activities in observance of the Guyana Police Force’s 175th Anniversary.
The donation was from the proceeds of a Black and White Affair they held.
