ELEVEN Police Sergeants drawn from Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, recently received certificates in professional development from the Government Technical Institute.

According to Police Headquarters, the objective of the programme is to primarily focus on equipping the Force’s middle management personnel with the necessary tools in order to work effectively and efficiently to their fullest capacity.

During the three-day programme earlier this month, the ranks edification was based on time management, conflict resolution, leadership, communication, stress management, business ethics, quality in delivery, customer service and teamwork.

Superintendent Keithon King, who is the Force’s Training Officer, spoke at the ceremony held at GTI’s Woolford Avenue location and encouraged the ranks to stay onboard and take part in the Force’s transformation as well as taking advantage of the courses being offered.

Superintendent King congratulated all of the ranks on behalf of the Commissioner and his administrative team.
On April 12, 2022, Deputy Commissioner ‘Administration’ (ag.), Calvin Brutus signed off on a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Principal of the Government Technical Institute (GTI), Dr. Renita Crandon-Duncan.

In addition to superintendent Keithon King, also present at the ceremony was Head of the Strategic Planning Unit, Assistant Superintendent, Nicola Kendall.
The sessions were conducted by Dr Crandon-Duncan and Jeffrey Pile.
