NEW AMSTERDAM, BERBICE – The Neighbourhood Police initiative has been dubbed a success in Division ‘B’ of the Guyana Police Force. According to statistics, Berbice has the highest number of Neighbourhood Police ranks.At the end of the first quarter of this year there were 113 of them in Division ‘’B,’ which spans Abary and Orealla, and they were trained in three batches. Next in line is Division ‘G’– Essequibo Coast and Islands.Here, 51 of them were trained during three courses. In Division ‘C’– Abary to Liliendaal — 38 ranks were trained in two courses, and Division ‘D’– West Bank Demerara to East Bank Essequibo — the figure stands at 20.To date, in Divisions ‘E’ and ‘F’ there are none. Assistant Commissioner Clinton Conway, who heads Division ‘B’ of the Guyana Police Force,Cheap China Jerseys, said that throughout Berbice 86 communities are covered, including New Amsterdam, Fort Wellington, Blairmont,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, Bath Settlement, Springlands, Mibicuri, Orealla and East and West Canje. In ‘C’ Division 14, ‘D’ Division 18 and in ‘G’ Division 34 localities are covered.To be eligible,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, applicants must be of unblemished character, between the ages of 18 and 45 years old, medically fit, literate and accepted by the community in which they live. Approval must be given by the Regional Administration or the respective Neighbourhood Democratic Council. As such, these persons are recruited to serve only in the district in which they live, and should they move from that particular community they can no longer hold that position.The Neighbourhood Police ranks are usually appointed Rural Constables under the Police Act Chapter 16:01,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and are attired in an assigned uniform.These persons are not subjected to transfer, must perform a minimum of eight hours of duty per day, and are paid a salary of $30,000 per month. The Commander acknowledged that there have been a few problems. He explained that the service of some of the ranks was terminated due to conflicts of interest,China Jerseys Cheap, dishonesty, and other reasons.The upside of having these ranks in place is, however, numerous, according to Conway. He cited improved intelligence gathering, quicker response time to reports, noting that more ranks are now available for crime-prone districts, resulting in other ranks being able to concentrate on more serious and complex crimes.Neighbourhood Police ranks are responsible for general patrols within their communities and dealing with minor reports, including domestic disputes, serving summons, and executing warrants. The participants are trained in areas such as initial action at crime scenes, conflict resolution, observation, statement writing,Cheap Jerseys Online, and general powers of arrest, among other areas.They are also expected to be involved in the intelligence gathering process and fostering better relations between the Police and members of the public. “With these ranks in operation, there have been quicker responses to reports, more visible Police presence, and more ranks available in crime-prone areas.“They are also instilling greater public confidence in the Guyana Police Force.” Commander Conway said.The Neighbourhood Police ranks form an integral part of the Police Force. “We are encouraging members of the public to be a part of this initiative as the fight to reduce crime and the fear of crime continues.”The fourth batch in Berbice should be recruited and trained shortly. “What we have noticed — and statistics support this — is that in certain areas where Neighbourhood Police ranks are located, there has been a reduction in criminal activities.” Neighbourhood Policing is another component that was added to boost the crime fighting capability of the Guyana Police Force.In addition, it provides back- up to an already short staffed Police Force. The initiative was first launched in Division ‘G’ on March 12th 2006.The first batch in Berbice commenced training later in March 2006, while the second batch commenced training on June 5th, 2006, and the third in July 2006.

… Those with 25 years of service,Cheap China Jerseys, honoured in Linden “At its most basic level,China NFL Jerseys, in my opinion, a necessary requisite is the need to really love what you do. I can see a distinct difference in the way individuals execute their responsibility when this element is present, as opposed toRegional Education Officer Mrs. Marcia Paddy-Andrews (left) CEO Olato Sam (centre) and Pastor Selwyn Sills at head table.when it is absent,” said Chief Education Officer Olato Sam.He was addressing the graduation ceremony of 18 teachers who successfully completed the Education Management Programme,Stitched Jerseys, at the Egbert Benjamin Exhibition Centre in Linden on Wednesday.The event also saw teachers with 25 years and more service being honoured and presented with tokens of appreciation.Sam said that it saddens him when he interacts with teachers who do not see the value in what they do, but “simply do it because it puts a meal on the table.”“One has to appreciate the bigger picture. My most valuable teachers are the ones who internalize the fact that their work is of national importance. We are in the business of shaping lives and defining outcomes. When you understand that, it is reflected in your attitude and the degree of seriousness and importance you attribute to your task. This ceases to become ‘a wuk’ as some of them call it and enters the realm of a career and a lifelong endeavor.”The CEO also cited selflessness as a key “criterion”.“Those who examine what we do would quickly come to the realization that we give and then are called to give more. As such, we must place what we do beyond ourselves and realise that it is truly in giving that we receive.? The countless people we serve must be our motivation at the beginning and end of the day,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, on weekends and way into the night.”He added,Cheap Jerseys From China Online, “We must now work diligently to restore that pride and solid social standing to the service endeavours of teachers. We are the individuals who shape and define the nature and tenor of this nation.

Lets’ embrace that!”Regional Education Officer, Marcia Andrews-Paddy, said that she had never thought of showing appreciation to “our teachers in this way”.? She said that the idea was given by Mr. Olato Sam himself at a meeting of Regional Education Officers, for which she thanked him.Andrews-Paddy acknowledged that there are many teachers who would have served in the region and education districts, and are forgotten after they retire.“Before you go, this is a very big thank you. It gives me great pleasure to be part of this double celebration. I am extremely happy to say congratulations to the graduating class of 2015 Ministry of Education Management Certificate course.? We recognize that these are the trees that weathered the storm. I want to recognize those teachers that have given 25 years and more of their lives to the education system.“We at the department humbly submit to you that we do appreciate the years and years of tireless service.? The department recognizes the need to reward good services in the education system. We believe that when people do well they should be recognized for it,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, and that we should let them know it.Ms. Ava Chapman, Regional Literacy Coordinator, and one of the trainers that outlined the course said, “The Education Management Certificate Programme for Head Teachers and aspiring Head Teachers was launched in 2000 as a pilot in Region Two.?

And added that, Education is not a privilege, it is a right. (Enid Joaquin)

Whether they are about love, envy, political affairs, religious conviction or even mythical creatures and theories, movies will forever hold us captive with their hypnotizing power and enthrallment.Guyanese musical icon,mlb jerseys china, Charmaine Blackman-AlvesPerhaps it is for this reason and more that SSignal Productions, which is owned by music and culture fanatics, Charmaine Blackman-Alves and her husband Bonny Alves, continues to churn out movies with a gripping tale to tell.In fact, the duo is actually launching a 12th movie today at the National Library with the screening set to take place at 6: 30pm and a light cocktail reception scheduled an hour prior to the grand show.The movie is called, “I wish I were my girlfriend’s cell phone.”The writer, Alves, explained that the movie speaks to a man who is disgusted with his girlfriend’s obsession with her cell phone. Day after day, he longs for more attention from her. This leads him to wishing he were her cell phone for just one day.As fate would have it, his wish is miraculously granted. But he was never prepared for what would happen next. The twist of course, is one patrons would have to be at the screening today to see, stated Alves.His wife, who is the producer of the production, said that she is wound up about the project as it has a plot that is “riveting, convincing and to die for.”Alves also explained that the film stars Ron Reynolds and Rodlyn Reynolds with a guest appearance by DJ Avalanche.This is the second production for the company this year. The first was the captivating film, “Ole Higue.”This ground-breaking local film—arguably the first in this genre—debuted to a small but appreciative audience last February at the National Cultural Centre.By itself, the ‘Ole Higue’ legend is an intriguing one. The producers,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, though,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, put ‘new fangs’ into the ancient tale for their one of a kind movie.According to talented writer, Andrew A. Monroe, the ‘Ole Higue’ is the Guyanese form of a human vampire, capable of shedding her skin and taking the form of a harmless old woman living in a community.Music veteranBonny AlvesIn his writings on this formidable creature, he says that at night, she transforms herself into a ball of fire, flies from her own house and lands on the roof of another house where there is a baby in a cradle whose blood she will suck.“Then the community sets a trap. When the Ole Higue flies abroad another night, she finds that the baby in the cradle is clothed in a blue nightgown. There is a heap of rice grains near to the cot and the smell of asafetida.”He said that these cast a spell on the Ole Higue who has to count the grains of rice, and if she loses her way, she has to start counting again. Monroe also states that the light of morning comes and the Ole Higue still has not finished counting the grains of rice.“People burst into the room, pick up a cabbage broom and begin to belabour the Ole Higue. They beat her to death, with great emotion.”But SSignal Productions does not follow this well-known script to the letter.Set in the Agricola Community, the creative team noted that the movie opens with a girl, (Natoya) and her brother (Jaden) making their way home after school. Natoya is then lured by an aged, menacing woman crying out for help.Here, we see Natoya struggling with her first battle. She is reminded by her brother that their mother always says that they should never speak to strangers. However, her mother who is played by Mariatha Causway also instilled in her to always be kind to the elderly. She follows the latter of the two instructions and is rewarded with a deadly curse, the curse of the Ole Higue.Growing up, Natoya is tormented by the evil within and struggles with moments of fighting the urge to drink the blood of children in the neighbourhood. Meanwhile scenes are shown of residents who awake in the early hours of the morning, horrified at the sight of their pale and lifeless babies. It leaves you wondering whether it was really Natoya who was up to no good.With the limited budget the film makers had to work with,Wholesale Jerseys Authentic, Ole Higue was surely a most worthy and entertaining piece of Guyanese production. But it could have been much better had it received the necessary financial support from entities such as the Ministry of Education’s Department of Culture,NBA Jerseys From China, and the Department of Tourism now under the purview of the Ministry of Public Telecommunications.Limited financial resources were also a challenge for the company’s second production, “I wish I were my girlfriend’s cell phone.”In this regard, the culture loving duo emphasized that the Government needs to do more for Guyana’s a
