Speaking after the demonstration at Hells Point, Supervising Deputy Commissioner National Security and Operational Support, Simpson Pogeava says, “Today you have completed your training on POM. I understand it was not an easy training but both executives of the CSSI and the RSIPF are proud to see what you have demonstrated so far.”
Supervising Deputy Commissioner Pogeava adds: “It is good to see that we share our capabilities in this kind of training and we will continue to do so as we work together to fight against crime in our society. I am looking forward for you to demonstrate those skills when you go out into the field.”
He emphasises: “Maintain the skills that you have learnt. I would also want to encourage you to maintain the team work and make all effort to implement what you have learnt.”
