The Guyana Police Force held its inaugural Officers’ Family Fun Day last Sunday November 10, 2014, at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary.
A large number of Senior and Junior Police Officers and their families enjoyed a relaxing and stress-free day where they were treated to food, sports, gymnastics, music and games inclusive of softball cricket, football and dominoes with trampoline and merry-go-around for the children, a release from the police said.
The highlight of the day was a five-over softball cricket match between Senior and Junior Officers. The senior team scored a total of 84 runs off their allotted overs with Commissioner (acting) Seelall Persaud contributing a blistering 53 not out. In reply, the Junior Officers could only muster 48 runs, the police statement added.
The immediate relatives of police ranks who had recently lost their lives in the line of duty were in attendance and also had an exciting time while interacting with the police officers and their families. It is intended to have the event on an annual basis.
