Tamil Police Sub Inspectors complete training
Fortyfour (44) Tamil Police Sub Inspectors and 110 Woman Sub
Inspectors joined active service when they passed out from the Police Training
School at a ceremonially Passing Out Parde held on 17th June.
Hon. Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa graced the occasion as the chief
guest.
In addition to the officers a batch of 215 Woman Police
Constables also passed out at the ceremony after completing training at the PTS
in Kalutara. The Woman Sub Inspectors batch also include a number of tamil
speaking officers as well.
The 44 Sub Inspectors will be posted to serve in the majority
Tamil speaking areas of the country. All officers and constables have been given
a comprehensive training that includes language training as well.
The state has implemented a number of far reaching programmes
within the national reconciliation process to assist the return of normalcy in
the former theatre of conflict. Billions of rupees have been spent on major
infrastructure development projects like roads, hospitals, schools, trade
complexes, civil administrative facilities, public utilities and transport
facilities. Hundreds of northern youth have also received state sector
employment including the police and the Civil Defence Department.
The posting of Tamil speaking officers to their native regions
will not only augment the present difficulties of communication between the
public and police but also boost public confidence on the civil law enforcement
authority in the region.
Inspector General of Police N. K. Illangakoon and senior
officers of the department were also present at the occasion.
