Young people in Service Civique T-shirts (five for Sandy Ground and five for French Quarter) have been trained to welcome the public and provide information. (Robert Luckock photo)\n\n \n\n“I would add that Mélanie Hodge, who heads the civic service for the Collectivité has also trained you on how to act at work to complete your knowledge. You're all from Sandy Ground, so you know your audience (five youths from Sandy Ground and five from French Quarter). You now have a complete panel of knowledge and you will know – I am sure – how to welcome and inform the public. In any case, I count on you and I encourage you to give the best of yourself in the missions entrusted to you.”\n\nGibbs disclosed another project to open auxiliary branches of Territorial Police and Gendarmerie, a first in France, will start at the end of June.\n\n“I am convinced that it is through this type of initiative that we will enhance public service, while strengthening the confidence of our population by knowing how to listen, surround and reassure them. Our restructuring work in the community is beginning to bear fruit. Little by little, we are increasing the power of our administration to give it back its full sense of public service.\n\n“Irma has put obstacles in our way but know that we are determined to carry out this necessary overhaul so that our services are up to expectations. I cannot conclude without thanking Paul Whit, without whom this project would not have been possible in this place, since he made his land available. Your gesture came from the heart and I thank you.”
