RSIPF Assistant Commissioner (AC) Simpson Pogeava hosted the event and presented the Commissioners Certificate of Appreciation to the departing advisors. He also presented them with the Solomon Islands Police service medal.
Pogeava thanked each for their work in Crime Prevention and embedding the mindset training delivered to the RSIPF. Also in attendance was RSIPF Director from National Crime Prevention Department (NCPD) Superintendent John Matamaru.
AC Pogeava said that he was proud of the NZ SIPSP programme focussing on leadership development and the upskilling and development of all RSIPF staff.
