After four years of training at the Police Academy of Sciences (ACIPOL), the approximately 104 finalists of the thirteenth graduation in Police Sciences were on Tuesday patented and promoted to sub-inspectors in a ceremony directed by the Commander-General of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM), Bernardino Rafael, in the company of ACIPOL’s rector, José Mandra, and senior members of the Interior Ministry.
On Wednesday, the President of Mozambique and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence and Security Forces, Filipe Nyusi, led the graduation ceremony.
The event included awards for the top three course candidates and the official parade.
At the beginning of his speech, Bernardino Rafael said that the commitment to the constant training of police forces was part of the national defence and security policy and strategy and was the realisation of the government’s view that human capital formation was the best and most sustainable investment for progress and well-being.
President Nyusi said that the government would continue to focus on the training and qualification of cadres. From a social point of view, the president emphasised, the police had an important role in implementing public policies regarding social security.
“Phenomena such as taking justice into one’s own hands, commonly known as lynching, require an emerging multidisciplinary approach to understand their true cause and devise more appropriate solutions to address the phenomenon,” President Nyusi said.
In another development, Nyusi drew the attention of graduates to combating cybercrime, which had a perverse effects on account of its rapid propagation and the difficulty of repairing the damage done. He said it was critical that the forces of law and order had full mastery of the discipline and were able to identify potential criminal activities and their perpetrators and take the necessary action in a timely manner.
It was also Nyusi’s desire to have a less coercive and more proactive police force.
“Always remember that it is your duty to treat your fellow citizens with respect and dignity. The use of force to enforce the law should be an exception. We want your presence on the ground, alongside your more experienced colleagues, to produce synergies that contribute to improving the provision of services to citizens, translated into greater security, tranquillity and public order,” the Commander-in-Chief of the FDS said.
