The Police Force Band also received a musical boost to the tune of $11,000 worth of equipment from the National Lotteries Authority. Chairman Murray Bullock outlined that the donation included a drum machine, stage monitors, microphones and stands.

Band leader, Carlos Sampson was appreciative of the contributions made and said that this would help the 35 members of his band give a better quality sound especially when they perform for calypso tents and during the Christmas season.

In wrapping up, Commissioner Miller praised the various companies for their assistance and encouraged others to be generous to the Police Force since

their contribution was an investment in an institution that ensured the safety of not only their customers but their businesses as well. (SG)
