East­ern Di­vi­sion Gang In­tel­li­gence Unit (EDGU) of­fi­cers con­duct­ed an ed­u­ca­tion-dri­ven ex­er­cise for stu­dents of North East­ern Col­lege in San­gre Grande with an em­pha­sis on gang vi­o­lence and its reper­cus­sions.

The ex­er­cise was done through an in­ter­ac­tive lec­ture at the school's au­di­to­ri­um with 300 stu­dents par­tic­i­pat­ing.

The team of of­fi­cers lec­tured on top­ics like school vi­o­lence, drug use, bul­ly­ing and gang vi­o­lence.

All top­ics were pre­sent­ed to the stu­dents through Pow­er­Point.

The stu­dents were al­lowed to voice their con­cerns and share their ideas and ex­pe­ri­ences of gang vi­o­lence in the school and re­spec­tive com­mu­ni­ties.

Snr Supt Khan, com­man­der of East­ern Di­vi­sion said the ex­er­cise was able to pro­vide the Unit with valu­able in­for­ma­tion and had a pos­i­tive im­pact on stu­dents.
