{{Eighty two Police officers attached to Kicukiro and Gasabo districts completed training in fighting gender related crimes and how to sensitize the public in the campaign against HIV.}}
The one-day training held at Kicukiro College of Technology was organized by Rwanda National Police as part of its ongoing activities to fight gender crimes and sexual transmitted diseases.
The Central Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Bosco Rangira, said for the force to effectively execute its tasks, training is “inevitable.”
“Rwanda National Police’s core role is to protect life and property. HIV like gender-based violence can also be a threat to security, if not contained,” ACP Rangira said.
He urged the officers to be agents of positive change by putting to use the acquired skills.
He commended the good working relations between Kicukiro and Rwanda National Police particularly in crime prevention.
Florence Uwayisaba, Kicukiro vice mayor in charge of social affair said the course will benefit all Rwandans.
“Wasting the skills and knowledge you acquired means putting at risk the lives of some Rwandans, who need to be sensitized on how to prevent gender crimes and HIV,” she stated.
