223 new recruits from the Bomana Police College have passed out last week from their training at the Police College at Bomana after 26weeks of intensive constable training.

The recruits were trained in Basic Elements of Law, Police Procedures, Administration, Community Relations, Domestic Violence and physical skills which include self defense and weapon handling.

Commissioner of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary Toami Kulunga said the recruitment would be a plus and will also add to the Governments Medium Term Development goals 2011-2015.

“The Passing out parade of 178 males and 45 females represents our ongoing effort to meet the Governments target of 8000 regular members by 2015 and beyond as part of the Governments Medium Term Development Program” Commissioner Kulunga said

He challenged the pass outs to maintain their high level of discipline and Integrity as well to respect the citizens of the country.

“I therefore challenge you passing out today as you depart this college to maintain the high level of discipline and integrity imparted to you at this college and to be an instrument for change for the better in your police station, barracks and communities”

“Let me remind you that the uniform you wear is a symbol of law, order and peace. It must be a uniform that encourages trust and respect, and should not be feared by law abiding citizens who make up the majority of our communities” Commissioner Kulunga said

He also encouraged the support of the family and friends toward the Probationary Constables in their choice of field.

 “To the family and friends of the pass outs thank you for supporting your sons and daughters decision to join the police service and I ask that you continue to support and influence them to make the right decisions” Commissioner Kulunga said

 The Probationary Constables were part of eight squads that passed out with individual Dux awards given to outstanding members of each squad and also a male and female category award for excellence in physical fitness.
