It is important for me to take a moment to discuss what it truly means to stand out among your colleagues in service to your country, and to recognize the impact of fellow service members. While we commend those who excel, let us not forget the significant role played by other dedicated members and partnerships in shaping the fight against crime in our region. With that in mind, I want to extend my sincere appreciation to all officers in the region and their partners who tirelessly combat crime and its manifestations.
I wish to underscore the imperative of safeguarding our communities through collective insight. By uniting resolutely, even amidst the most challenging circumstances, we can navigate a course towards prevailing over and even eradicating crime.
In acknowledging the awardees, whose dedication exceeds standard duty, whose personal and familial sacrifices are evident as they commit to this noble cause… for the betterment of humanity.
Let us extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to these honourees, recognizing their exceptional service, and expressing profound thanks for their unwavering commitment, as they diligently strive to create safer communities by courageously confronting the pervasive challenge of crime, Aristotle once said “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Now that I have covered the pleasantries, I will hand over to the master of ceremony to proceed with the main event the actual awards.
An event that has already demonstrated a positive impact from the feedback it has generated over the years
Thank you once again
And please do enjoy the rest of the evening
And have a safe return trip
To your home destinations
And may God bless you and keep you safe.
