Sixty police recruits recently began their six-month training to become members of the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force. This is according to Acting Police Chief Davidson Valerie.<\/p>\n

\u201cForty-four male and 15 female officers were enlisted into the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force on Friday 6 December 2024,\u201d he said. \u201cThe 59 new entrants took their oath of office at police headquarters following which they were transported to the training site at Jimmit where the training will be conducted over a period of six months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Valerie said one additional officer is expected to join the cohort within the next two days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish the officers well and a successful six months training,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

In September 2024, Minister for National Security Rayburn Blackmoore said regarding training for new recruits,\u00a0\u00a0the government is also ensuring training in effective report writing and protection of the crime scenes,\u00a0 that the evidence collected is not compromised and all the fundamentals that may affect a case can be dealt with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have talent within our local space,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe have a former retired police superintendent, so he is going to assist in having lectures starting next month, so we can have those courses to train as many police officers as possible in the area of report writing and collecting evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April 2022, 51 young men and women from across Dominica\u2014 38 males and 13 females joined the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF). This was said to be the largest induction the police service had seen at any one time.<\/p>\n
