The police are appealing to the public for a peaceful celebration during Monday\u2019s Labour Day activities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Commissioner of Police, under the Public Order Act Cap 357, has granted permission to several groups and organizations to hold marches and rallies on Labour Day.<\/p>\n

He is calling upon the leaders of these organizations to ensure that their supporters adhere to the laws as set out under the Act, and conduct themselves in a responsible manner.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The police will also be implementing an operational plan for crowd control and traffic management; as well as the overall safety and security of the general public.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This will include increased foot and mobile patrols, with a special focus on beaches and places with large gatherings.<\/p>\n

There will also be command posts operated by the police at Fort James and Ffryes beaches on Labour Day.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Residents are further encouraged to pay keen attention to their general safety and ensure that minors under their supervision are properly supervised at all times.<\/p>\n

An appeal is also made for motorists to exercise caution on the roads, and to desist from exceeding the speed limits.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Police Administration is expecting the support and cooperation of all as we work together towards having a safe Labour Day weekend.<\/p>
