A two-day Command Awareness workshop for the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) was successfully completed on 15 September 2023.
Police Commissioner, Mostyn Mangau said:
Chief Superintendent Claire Armes from the United Kingdom College of Policing and Chief Superintendent Matt Lawler, representative from the UK National Police Coordination Centre were in the country to deliver the training to the RSIPF.
Commissioner Mangau said:
The UK officers travelled to Honiara upon RSIPF request to equip our team leaders who will be actively engaged in operations on these upcoming events with the appropriate knowledge and skills.
The Police Commissioner further adds:
The guest facilitators were made possible through bilateral arrangement with the British High Commission in Solomon Islands. RSIPF are grateful and really appreciated the organisers for making it happen.
Officer In-Charge (OIC) of the RSIPF Sexual Assault Squad (SAS), Inspector Rose Nala who participated in the workshop said:
As a manager, I treasured this workshop as very valuable in my policing career. It reminded me in order to tackle whatever situation may arise, in terms of decision making. I must always refer back to the basics, according to the decision model, which I learned from the workshop. Keep it simple and stick to the decision model as a guide.
18 males and 6 female RSIPF officers who participated covered several topics that will definitely enhance their ability to make decisions wisely and deliver the service to our people.
