St Ann police launch youth club quiz competition
Bamboo PYC beat Runaway Bay PYC in the first match of a revamped police youth clubs quiz competition, Thursday.
The current affairs quiz match took place following the formal launch of a revamped quiz competition for police youth clubs (PYCs) in the parish.
The St Ann PYC Quiz Competition was launched at the police headquarters in St Ann’s Bay on Thursday evening, August 7.
Twelve youth clubs from across the parish are participating in the competition “geared at promoting a harmonious relationship between young persons and the police” said coordinator Constable Carl McLarty. Speaking at the launch of the quiz competition which has been dormant for years, Cons McLarty said the competition will ” increase awareness of current affairs and issues relating to policing.”
Head of the St Ann police Senior Superintendent Yvonne Martin Daley said she wanted the quiz competition to continue for a long time.
Inspector Orville Bushay, from the Community, Safety and Security branch of the St Ann police, said that he was happy for the revamping of the competition and said it will continue for years to come.
The competition’s main sponsor for 2014 is Noranda Jamaica Bauxite Partners. Other sponsors are Dolphin Cove, Mystic Mountain and Chukka Cove.
