Assistant Commissioner of Police-Operations, Christopher Benjamin, delivering the feature address told the participants: âThis is your camp, so make it the best camping experience.â
He reminded the gathering to remain focused at all times and they will all contribute towards building a better society.
âDon’t look at it as a get away,â said ACP Benjamin as he encouraged the participants to have the right attitude to be able to maximize the benefits of the camp. ACP Benjamin expanding on the camp’s theme, ‘Nurturing Our Nation’s Most Valuable Resource’, said children are the future of our nation.
He reminded the members of the Police Youth Clubs to cherish their lives because their lives are like a garden.
âWhat you sow, nurture it and grow it that you will reap the benefits. I implore you to sow good seeds so you can make a worthy contribution to St Vincent and the Grenadines,â said ACP Benjamin as he encouraged the campers to build positive characters, speak positive things at all times, pursue positive attitudes, be disciplined, orderly and have self control.
On Tuesday, July 22, at 9:30 a.m., the Police Force will launch another of its crime fighting initiatives with the official launch of the Police Band Summer Programme at the Old Montrose Police Station.
