Region 10 police stretched by curfew duties

Hugh Winter

The Region 10 policing division is currently faced with the challenge of operating with limited personnel but efforts are being made to ensure that emergency measures ordered by Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are fully enforced.

The Region 10 Regional Democratic Council (RDC) in a statement issued yesterday said that this disclosure was made by Regional Commander Hugh Winter during a meeting held with several senior officials of the Regional Health and Emergency Committee (RHEC), the Linden Chamber of Commerce and the Linden Business Network.

The meeting which was held yesterday was chaired by the Regional Chairman Renis Morian and co-chaired by Mayor Waneka Arrindell and sought to address several “burning” issues of the business community.
