The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) recently held a ceremony to farewell six China Police Liaison Team (CPLT) members at Rove police headquarters.
RSIPF in a statement said the occasion was attended by members of the RSIPF Executive and CPLT.
RSIPF Acting Commissioner, Mathias Lenialu acknowledged the six CPLT members for their profound impact on RSIPF’s capacity development.
He also congratulated them for the outstanding job they have done during their deployment in the country.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to CPLT Commissioner and your team for your outstanding work and dedication shown through the numerous different projects that have led to the continued development and cooperation between our two countries,” Lenialu said.
CPLT Commissioner, Liu Shenghuang in his remarks at the farewell ceremony, expressed his gratitude to the leadership of the RSIPF for their unwavering support of the team’s work.
He also shed light on key achievements of the six outgoing CPLT members, a major one being the establishment of the first RSIPF SWAT Team, which is currently participating in the international SWAT Challenge in Dubai.
“The six CPLT also played a pivotal role in assisting RSIPF with combating new-emerging crimes, like cybercrime, establishing the first drug testing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), strengthening community policing strategies, and providing livelihood and Crime Prevention Committees (CPC) training,” he said.
Commissioner Liu said the CPLT is also expanding cooperation to Honiara City Council (HCC) Law Enforcement Agency and universities.
RSIPF said these milestones signify a new level of collaboration and enduring friendship.
Commissioner Liu said as the Chinese New Year approaches, the Year of the Horse, symbolizing energy, speed, prosperity, and fortune, the CPLT wishes everyone a happy New Year, with hopes of racing ahead like the horse and reaching new heights of success.
Meanwhile, spokesperson for the outgoing six CPLT members, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Yang Jian, said they have no doubt RSIPF will continue to thrive.
“As we move forward, we have no doubt that the RSIPF will continue to thrive and evolve, building upon the strong foundation we have helped to establish together.
“We are confident that the future of law enforcement in the Solomon Islands is bright, and we wish all of you the very best as you continue to serve and protect this beautiful country,” he said.
To recognise their hard work and outstanding service, RSIPF awarded the six CPLT members with medals.
“The medals were presented as part of the farewell ceremony, symbolizing their dedication and the lasting impact of their contributions to policing in the Solomon Islands,” said RSIPF.
