BEFORE having a group of children assist him in the lighting of the giant Christmas tree at police headquarters in Grand Bahama, Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Emrick Seymour expressed hope that the lighted tree would ignite a spirit of kindness and love among all Bahamians.
The officer-in-charge for Grand Bahama and the Northern Bahamas said these characteristics are virtues that are needed in today’s society.
“In that spirit of Advent, we in the Royal Bahamas Police Force, light this Christmas tree and we hope that it ignites that spirit into the hearts of each and every one of you,” he said.
This year’s tree lighting ceremony, held at the Gerald Bartlett Police Complex, was under the theme “the true meaning of Christmas, a celebration of life.”
The event focused on the youth of the island.
