ON Thursday, ranks from the Police Regional Division 4B, No. 1 Sub-Division, participated in a comprehensive training session organised by the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security’s Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Policy Unit.

The training was coordinated by Assistant Superintendent M. Singh, Officer-in-Charge of No. 1 Sub-Division and was facilitated by Mr Andre Jagdanan, Legal Officer, Ms Jemacy Phillips, Programme and Prevention Officer, and survivors’ advocates, Mr Quincy Wong and Ms Kerryann Cadogan.

The focus of the training was to enhance the participants’ understanding of the Family Violence Act, 2024, thereby equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively respond to cases of sexual and domestic violence.

The training was highly interactive, offering participants the opportunity to engage in discussions and participate in practical exercises.

At the end of the session, ranks took a quiz to assess their understanding and retention of the materials covered.

This initiative is part of an ongoing commitment to strengthen the capacity of the ranks to serve and protect all citizens with professionalism, empathy, and respect for human rights. (GPF)
