One hundred and sixty police personnel completed their 60-day training program on basic internal security operations, with the closing ceremony held Nov. 10, at the RSTU NIR BISOC Camp in Sta. Catalina, Negros Oriental.
The Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region said the intensive training program was designed to develop and strengthen the operational capabilities of police personnel in addressing internal security concerns, and responding effectively to various challenges in the field.
Throughout the course, participants underwent classroom discussions, hands-on exercises, and practical field activities, aimed at enhancing their tactical proficiency, operational readiness, decision-making, coordination, and the ability to work effectively as a team.
With the successful completion of the training, the graduates are expected to apply their enhanced knowledge, skills, and operational competencies in their respective assignments, contributing to more effective police operations and the delivery of professional, efficient, and responsive police service, the PRO-NIR said.
In his message, P/Brig. Gen. Rudecindo Reales, PRO-NIR director, reminded the graduates that completing the course was not the end of their learning but the beginning of greater responsibility as police officers.
He challenged them to apply their training in actual field operations, and emphasized that police effectiveness is measured, not merely by accomplishments, but by the professionalism, sound judgment, and accountability demonstrated in carrying out their duties while upholding human rights and the rule of law.
Beyond technical and operational development, the training also reinforced the fundamental values and principles expected of every police officer, particularly discipline, integrity, accountability, teamwork, and resilience. Emphasis was placed on respect for human rights, the dignity of every individual, and strict adherence to the rule of law in the conduct of police operations.
The PRO-NIR said it remains committed to developing competent, disciplined, and mission-ready personnel through sustained training and development, strengthening its capacity to address security challenges, and protect the communities of Negros Island Region. ||
