ACTING COMMISSIONER of Police Tyrone Griffith is still holding out hope for young people in Barbados and is suggesting that something be done to make them productive citizens.

He was speaking at a graduation ceremony of the inaugural Prince’s Trust programme in Barbados at Almond Bay, Hastings, Christ Church, on Thursday evening.

Griffith said a helping hand was all that was needed for the potential of the youths to come to the fore.
