Some 1,238 police officers, including 220 women, on Saturday, September 13, completed the third intake of the Basic Police Special Forces Course at the Counter-Terrorism Training Centre (CTTC) Mayange in Bugesera District.
The intensive three-month course was designed to equip officers with advanced tactical skills to confront evolving security threats and safeguard national peace and stability.
Presiding over the pass-out, Inspector General of Police (IGP), CG Felix Namuhoranye, emphasized the significance of their achievement as the start of a more demanding chapter in their policing careers.
“By completing this training, you have embarked on a new journey—one that is longer, more challenging, and holds greater responsibilities,” said IGP Namuhoranye.
“It is now your duty to apply the knowledge and skills you have gained here to protect the lives and property of the people of Rwanda.”
He underscored the priceless value of national security, calling on officers to remain vigilant and committed to continuous professional growth.
“The security of Rwandans is of immeasurable worth. It demands relentless effort, further skill enhancement, and the ability to effectively address emerging threats,” he added.
The IGP urged the new graduates to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, discipline, and accountability, stressing that modern policing requires both personal dedication and constant self-evaluation.
