Dear Editor,
Good Deeds must be noised abroad. My heart is filled with gratitude to two brave policemen from the Ferry Police Station.
On Saturday, September 14, my husband and I were travelling from Manchester towards Kingston on Highway 2000 just after 8:00 pm. Suddenly, there was a funny noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. On listening closely we realised that we had a punctured tyre, by then we were in the vicinity Lakes Pen. We drove for about a kilometre because we heard of the many tales of robbery in that area. Unfortunately the tyre could go no more so we stopped and called 119 for assistance.
We gave them our location, name and licence number. My husband wanted to get out of the vehicle to change the tyre because he feels that he is fearless. It was only because of my beseeching and almost tears that he desisted from doing so.
The police arrived shortly afterwards and introduced themselves with a word of caution. One stated that if motorists have gas in their vehicles, they should never stop along that stretch of roadway. He even praised my husband for heeding to my pleas. He then related tales of horror about unsuspecting motorists who were robbed, and even killed in that vicinity.
Constables Beckford and Charangeesingh assisted us, protected us and served all through our ordeal. We realised that they were on 'high alert' as they told us that the robbers are always there in the bushes hiding just waiting to pounce. My husband and I realised that those two brave policemen put their lives on the line for us that night. We will be forever grateful to them and to the other members of the force who serve their country and fellow citizens with dignity and pride. Now we truly understand the police the motto "To serve and protect". I pray that God may continue to protect, cover and bless those brave men and women who fearlessly serve us. Thank you, Constables Beckford and Charangeesingh.
