Guam - The residents of Barrigada today took the time to honor
and say thank you to several officers of the Guam Police Department and the
village mayor's office for keeping the community safe. The officers were given citizens certificates
of appreciation for their involvement in solving a rash of crimes in the
central village.
One of those
victims is Barrigada resident Wil Castro, who said, "Al kinds of bad
things were happening, and I gotta tell you there are not enough words to
describe to you what happened to many of us. But thanks to a couple of folks in
the department, they really pulled their resources together and Barrigada is a
better place for it."
Ten police
officers were recognized this morning by several Barrigada families who were
victims of crimes including the Gumabon Family, Castro, Aguon and Santos families.
