Commissioner of Police, Leslie James, in his address, highlighted the importance of law enforcement officers upholding their oath of office and applying the rules, laws, regulations, procedures and tactics they were taught.

“I urged that you quell your anxieties, be patient, be confident of course, be assertive in the executions of your duties. The history of this noble organisation has shown that we have been resolute in our endeavours and resilient in treating the challenges that have confronted us in different periods of times. Remember your goals and aspiration and remain respectful to the people in the communities.”
