PHILIPSBURG:--- Service by Law Enforcement Officers, in particular of community protection is generally, seen as their daily task. However, with the deadly Corona-virus Pandemic raging one would agree that protection of self also goes for law enforcement officers themselves where the pandemic is concerned.
One would agree that from the onset Law Enforcement Officers have been carrying out their tasks with much commitment and dedication looking after the safety of the community at large.
With the deadly Corona-virus pandemic ranging, enforcement officers not only have been confronted with safeguarding the community but also themselves and their respective families from this deadly disease. Royal Dutch Maracheaussee and members of the Dutch marines are doing their utmost in assisting the Sint Maarten Police Force, to keep the entire community safe from the COVID 19 pandemic.
In the eyes of the members of the Sint Maarten Lions and Leo Clubs, this great humanitarian community assistance cannot go unnoticed and decided to express their appreciation. Lions Club President Oralie Boirard along with members of the Lions Club presented a Framed Certificate of Appreciation to the Police Chief Carl John on behalf of the Sint Maarten Lions and Leo Clubs. This took place at the Police Station in Philipsburg on Monday, April 27, 2020.
Police Chief Carl John thanked the Lions and Leo Clubs in the presence of all law enforcement personnel on duty at the time to witness the presentation. After the presentation, the Lions and Leos provided the law enforcement officers with refreshments and snack boxes.
The Lions and Leos also thanked the DIVICO Distributors and Cash and Carry and other businesses and persons who had contributed to this beautiful gesture.
