The department has extended its heartfelt congratulations to all 18 staff members and expressed confidence that they will bring the same dedication and integrity to their new roles as they have shown in policing.
Senior officers believe this milestone will inspire many more personnel across the force to pursue administrative and academic opportunities. It also reinforces the belief that police personnel are capable of excelling in complex, multidisciplinary domains beyond conventional law enforcement.
