The community of the village, with the support of their Alkalo, constructed the Old Yundum new police station. The Vice President, Dr. Isatou Njie Saidy officially opened it recently on behalf of President Jammeh.

In declaring the new police station open the Vice President, who made her statement on behalf of the President, said the importance of the occasion cannot be over emphasized given that it is a result of a partnership between the Gambian police force and the community of Old Yundum. The existence of this police station is evidence of a need felt by the people of Old Yundum, especially in the wake of the development and expansion of the Kombo Coastal Road Network.

The VP noted that in a bid to complement community efforts the Gambia Police Force installed a solar lighting system to address the electricity needs of the station pending the arrival of the Rural Electrification Project to the area. She closed her statement, saying, “I will assure the community of Old Yundum that the police will continue to be very vigilant in their duties and in the execution of their daily functions in the interest of the community and the entire nation.
