Police force expands by 133

Assistant Commissioner of Police Clifton Hicken on Friday urged one hundred and thirty three new policemen and women to use their leisure time to engage their prospective communities and to stay out of trouble.

He was at the time delivering the feature address for the passing out parade held for recruit courses 361, 362, 35 ‘B’ (1) and 13 ‘G’ at the Police Officers’ Training Centre, Eve Leary. The courses were held under the theme “Forging ahead with professionalism and intelligence-led policing in the collaboration with stakeholders.”

Hicken urged the graduates to take off their armour and create a friendly atmosphere so that members of the public will be willing to interact with them. “Police must know,” he said while reminding them that questions will be asked and they will have to give guidance and directions.
