Among them were 11 masters, 144 graduates and 204 intermediate degree holders.

The IGP said that all officers and personnel of the police force were performing their duties in the field and offices, adding that the officers who had completed the training should go to the field and treat the public with the same compassionate attitude so as the collective image of police force could be changed. He said that all available resources had been utilised to provide modern vocational training to the female officers enrolled in the 12th Lady Recruit Course, adding that the young police officers who were being passed out that day would serve in the field and deliver public service.
