30 Senior Police Officers from different departments of Police have today started three days of Employees Performance Appraisal Training at Rwanda Institute for Administration and Management (RIAM).
The training is organized by Rwanda National Police and funded by the Public Sector Capacity Building Secretariat (PSCBS).
Officiating at the opening ceremony, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) John Bosco Kabera lauded the continued partnership with RIAM and PSCBS.
According to the police statement, ACP Kabera conceded that training police officers is one of the approaches undertaken by Rwanda National Police as the approach is believed by the force as an appropriate transit to excellence and professionalism.
Kabera urged course participants to give value and take the course seriously.
He noted that protecting life and property is a noble cause and which requires highly skilled and knowledgeable personnel.
Jean Mukunzi a trainer said that, the training has been going on because last year police officers from administration and personnel departments were given similar trainings.
“Rwanda National Police is involved in more government programs, it is imperative that its personnel acquire skills in different fields in order to be able to lender quick and quality services”, Mukunzi said.
Mukunzi noted that RIAM and Rwanda National Police are in close discussions to put ways on how trained officers can be guided into implementing the knowledge acquired to ensure excellence in their daily activities.
“We hope to begin an evaluation phase next year where we shall be checking how trained police officers implement the skills and where necessary assist those that still have problems”, Mukunzi said admitting that training is good only if accompanied by an evaluation phase.
