While speaking, the DGP said that the present trainees’ batch is unique in itself as it is a mix of experienced and young personnel. Many in the batch have already performed well in the field as SPOs. The DGP impressed upon them to fully devout themselves to training, work shoulder to shoulder with fellow trainees, develop a team spirit and prepare themselves for future challenges. He said that trainees must carry forward the spirit, positivity and activism inculcated in them during the training for the benefit of society.
Referring to the JK Police Song, sung by the trainees at the beginning of the meeting, the DGP advised the trainees to memorise and understand the song as it expresses the mission, motive and commitment of J&K Police.
Earlier, the DGP inaugurated the Drill Nursery and Helipad within the Training School.
During the inauguration of the drill nursery the DGP appreciated the Principal PTS Manigam for providing an outdoor drill training lab for the trainees. He said that drill nursery will help the basic training recruits to practice and correct themselves individually in their turnout and other drill basics like March past, saluting etc thus will help in their police personality development during their initial period of training.
Later, the DGP also took stock of security arrangements at Manigam and Shadipora Transit Camps.
