On Monday, the students started their study tour at the Office of the Ombudsman where they were received by its Permanent Secretary, Xavier Mbarubukeye, who briefed them on the operations of the Office of Ombudsman in the fight against corruption in Rwanda.<\/p>\n
They later visited National Itorero Commission where they were received and briefed by its chairman, Bonifance Rucagu.<\/p>\n
The study tour is part of the one year course that covers both academic and professional aspects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe highest police course aims at imparting to participants knowledge and skills in relation to Strategic Command and professional policing, Executive Leadership as well as Strategic Management,\u201d Commissioner of Police (CP) Felix Namuhoranye, the commandant of NPC, said.<\/p>\n

So, during this study tour, officers will visit 15 institutions in the sectors of justice, governance, security, foreign policy and economic development,\u201d CP Namuhoranye added.<\/p>\n
