Three years of training in the SUKSIS programme has made me who I am today. Volunteering in the police force is an honour and a privilege. Throughout my training, I have learnt many things that are useful to me. I have disciplined myself, boosted my confidence and gained new skills. I hope after this, I will go on to serve in the police force.
