Within the new Police environment, you will have to give up habits developed in your civilian life and adapt to the rigours and discipline of your new profession. You are now required to enforce the law courteously without fear or favour, affection or ill will. Be always ready to take the challenge to preserve law and order at all times, and to protect life and property. In a constantly changing world, the Police is confronted with a variety of new challenges and opportunities and there seems to be a general agreement that any Police Force operating today has a much tougher task than it did some decades back. This influx of information has resulted into a drastic change of personal behaviour at the level of our society.
People tend to be more critical of authorities, more particularly, the Police.
Citizens are demanding more and varied crime prevention services, greater accountability and effective performance from all agencies responsible for providing service to the community. I am confident that under the present Government, everything will be done to modernise, equip and professionalise the Police Force so as to enable it to meet all public expectations on the law and order front. You have joined the Mauritius Police Force at the right moment. In fact, under a new leadership, this institution is now embarked on a complete reorganisation programme. We are hoping to provide you with a better workplace, more transport facilities, modern policing equipment and, above all, a new training package for all ranks.
