The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) officially welcomed 105 new recruits who will begin a 20‑week intensive training programme at the Rove Police Headquarters.
Minister of Police, National Security and Correctional Services (MPNSCS) Jimson Tanaganda, addressed the recruits, comprising of 70 males and 35 females from across all provinces including Honiara, a statement from MPNSCS yesterday said.
Mr Tanangada emphasised that the programme is designed to produce constables with integrity, honesty, and professionalism to strengthen community safety and public confidence in the RSIPF.
Over the next 20 weeks, recruits will undergo comprehensive training delivered by RSIPF academy staff, specialist instructors, and guest presenters from partner agencies such as the Chinese Police Liaison Team (CPLT) and the New Zealand‑supported SIPSP programme, the statement said.
The updated curriculum covers Solomon Islands laws, ethical policing, community engagement, and practical skills to meet modern policing challenges.
Minister Tanangada urges the recruits to show commitment, perseverance, and teamwork, reminding them that they are “guardians of peace and justice”.
He congratulated them on their achievement and wishes them success, reinforcing RSIPF’s dedication to building a safe and peaceful Solomon Islands.
