THE CURTAIN will come down on the Westmoreland and Hanover legs of the Police Courtesy Week, which are being staged simultaneously, with two events of contrasting natures in both parishes.
In Westmoreland, the police will be staging a 'by invitation only' Awards & Presentation ceremony at the Commingle Hotel, in Savanna-la-Mar, while over in Hanover, there will be a Six-A-Side Football Tournament, featuring police youth clubs teams, at the Elgin Town Sports Ground.
FINE STYLE
"It has been a very good week and we are looking to end it in fine style with this Awards and Presentation ceremony," said Deputy Superintendent Dermot Lawrence, who spearheaded Police Courtesy Week activities in the Westmoreland Division. "We hope that what has happened this week will lead to an even better working relationship with the community."
Over in Hanover, where the Courtesy Week's activities have gone exceedingly well, their public relations team is also hoping to end their week in fine style. Having received some footballs from the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) to use in the football tournament, all is set for an exciting afternoon of football.
The Awards and Presentation ceremony in Savanna-la-Mar, which is slated to start at 7:00 p.m., is expected to be highlighted by the presentation of a special awards to Westmoreland's Custos, the Honourable Owen Sinclair, who is being honoured for his contribution to law and order in the parish.
Sergeant Nadine Grant-Brown, who had the distinction of winning the LASCO Top Cop award for the 2003, the first woman to achieve that enviable feat, will also be honoured for the high distinction she has brought to the Westmoreland Division.
"We really want to thank the PSOJ for this wonderful initiative," Deputy Superintendent Linnette Williams-Marin, the commanding officer for Hanover, stated at the Hanover Public Forum earlier this week. "It provides yet another opportunity for the police to interact with the community."
