He congratulated them for their resilience and dedication throughout the training, emphasizing on a more challenging and long-term policing journey ahead.
“By concluding this training, you have started another journey in your career, which is longer and more challenging. It is a journey of implementing the knowledge and skills you acquired and providing security to Rwandans,” IGP Namuhoranye said.
He underscored that the security of Rwandans is a priceless asset that must be preserved and enhanced through unwavering commitment and professionalism.
“The security of Rwandans is costly to a very great degree, and the only course of action is to improve your skills to protect it and fight anything that can undermine it,” he added.
