{{One hundred twenty seven Police officers completed a two-month Basic Aviation Security Course yesterday at Rwanda National Police headquarters in Kacyiru.}}
The training was conducted by Rwanda National Police in conjunction with Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA).
The main aim of the course was to equip airport Unit police officers with the necessary skills to improve airport security.
During the two-month training, participants were given lectures in theory and practical subjects on international civil aviation, working at the airport, access control, recognition of explosive devices and other restricted items, area search procedures, patrolling and guarding, screening, searching passengers and their luggage, conventional x-ray and protection of aircraft on ground.
Speaking on behalf of the course participants, Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Claudian Rutikara thanked the Rwanda National Police and Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority for organising the course, saying that it was significant for the growing aviation industry in Rwanda where security is a pre requisite.
“We don’t not only value this course as a tool to better the framework of our working conditions but also a foundation upon which we shall pass over to enrich the knowledge of fellow operators who never got a chance to attend this course,” added Rutikara.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) Stanley Nsabimana who was also the guest of honour at the closing ceremony thanked the participants and urged them to put into practice knowledge and skills acquired through the course.
He said that it is through such trainings that will help promote the good image of the institution and the public they serve.
“The effectiveness and efficiency are both important enabling factors that allow the attainment of organisational goals and objectives. I hope what you have learnt will help you deliver effectively, thus promoting the good image of the institution you represent and the public we all serve,” DIGP Nsabimana added.
The closure of the course that started on March 25 was also graced by Commissioners of Intelligence and Human Resource Management and Development in Rwanda National Police.
