The Guyana Police Force extends heartfelt congratulations to Police Constable Jasmine Wiggins, who proudly represented the village of Buxton at the Miss East Coast 2025 Pageant, where she secured the title of First Runner-Up.

Her outstanding performance earned her several special awards, including Miss Intelligence, Best Body, Best Swimwear, and Miss Photogenic.

Jasmine dazzled the audience in a stunning gold evening gown and showcased an impressive national costume themed “Buxton Spice.”

When asked what message she would like to share with young women, Jasmine expressed heartfelt encouragement:

“I would like to encourage young girls to always chase their dreams. Remember, it’s not always about winning; it’s about the hurdles you overcome and the resilience you show during hard times. Even if you don’t come out on top, let that be a reminder that you can achieve so much more. Never stop pushing yourselves, because there is so much more in store for you.”

Jasmine’s journey serves as a reminder that success is not solely measured by crowns, but by the ability to inspire others along the way.
