Academic achievements by police officers raises the profile of the Royal Eswatini Police Service, portraying it as a learning organisation.
National Commissioner of Police Manoma Vusi Masango speaking during a meeting with police officers, who recently graduated from different institutions of higher learning said the academic achievements of the officers have a bearing both on personal and organisational levels.
He said the general belief was that education at a higher level broadens the mind and completes the professional training received at the Police academy, which translates to better service delivery.
The national commissioner noted that the police service, for the longest time, had been aligned with certain stereotypes but with more officers acquiring academic achievements these will fade away.
He said the police service been associated with poorly educated people for a long time but was hopeful that it would be a thing of the past as more officers get educated.
“Having more of our officers graduating in various disciplines from different institutions of higher learning adds to the value of the organisation’s human capital and serves to quash these stereotypes. Furthermore, the organisation in its entirety, earns respect and confidence of the community.”
He said these newly acquired academic qualifications presented a challenge to the officers as it meant they will have to work extra hard in all their duties to prove themselves and not be complacent. He said the qualifications do not necessarily mean the officers should look down upon authorities and their colleagues.
The graduates were urged to continue working in harmony with their colleagues as some have vast experience which no level of education would be equal.
Masango congratulated the graduates urged them to support and contribute to the realisation of the vison for the country to attain first world status as envisioned by His Majesty King Mswati. He said the officers must play their part in ensuring that all the police service initiatives aimed at supporting this national vision are realised.
The National Commissioner further urged the officers to maintain a disciplined disposition, respecting orders and carry out lawful duties that are assigned by their authorities. He said the organisation was looking forward to utilising the skills and knowledge for the benefit of the police service.
Assistant Inspector Bongani Vilakati, speaking on behalf of the graduates, expressed their gratitude to the organisation for being granted permission to embark on their studies. He said despite getting their tertiary qualifications they remain committed and loyal to the police service. “I would like to reaffirm my colleagues' commitment in upholding our utmost loyalty to the police badge and the authorities of the country in accordance with the laws of the land.
We further pledge our availability in supporting the organisation in uplifting the standard of discipline among the members of the police service by assisting with the skills we have acquired.”
