Senior officers of the Guyana Police Force on Saturday visited Kuru Kuru, Linden-Soesdyke Highway where they met with residents and members of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the New Highway Producers Co-op Society regarding community developments.
Among their discussions were plans to build a police station in the area as well as develop several youth and scout groups, a release from the police force said.
Saturday’s exercise was spearheaded by Acting Commissioner of Operations, Ravindradat Budhram who was accompanied by Second-in-Charge of Operations, Senior Superintendent Ewart Wray and Commander of Regional Division 4 ‘B’, Superintendent Denise Griffith.
One of the key points highlighted was the importance of a police station in the community. Paula Nicholson, the committee’s chairman shared that residents believe that the presence of a police station there will aid in significantly reducing crime.
Budhram who welcomed the idea assured committee members that his team will work to ensure these plans materialise following consultation with relevant agencies.
Following the meeting, the team of officials were given a guided tour of the area and its immediate surroundings including the area where the police station is expected to be built.
