Five police personnel from the Honiara Police Response Team (PRT) are conducting a public order management and requalification training for police in Auki, Malaita Province this week.
This training is focused on uplifting and supporting police officers in their abilities to match public order management and requalification processes.
Malaita Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Michael Ramosaea, the training is of importance as it will benefit and support his officers with current public order management regulations.
He said according to policy, every officer has to undergo requalification training every 12 months.
“As we have overheard, our officers are now in the police training session with the five PRT officers from Honiara.
“In our policy, after every twelve months, we will have requalification training. This is to refresh and strengthen the abilities of police officers in upholding policies and handling and using equipment, such as sprays,” said Superintendent Ramosaea.
One other thing officers will be assisted in through the training getting to know when and when not to use police equipment.
Superintendent Ramosaea added that failure to comply with the guidelines regarding the equipment and unnecessary use of equipment is a crime.
He stressed that if any police officer is found using such equipment by unnecessary means, he or she can be arrested and put in jail.
