KOTA SAMARAHAN: All 84 trainees of the Police Undergraduate Volunteer Corps (SUKSIS) at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) have bright career prospects with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Sarawak Deputy Police Commissioner Datuk Mancha Ata said the trainee’s experience in undergoing training for three years would be an advantage in the recruitment of police personnel.
“I believe that the training, self-discipline and exposure to law enforcement over the years make them one of the best candidates to join the force,” he said.
He said this during a press conference after the presentation of certificates of appointment at the Police Volunteer Inspector ceremony in the Dewan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra (DeTAR PUTRA), UNIMAS, on Saturday (Feb 19).
He further explained that the SUKSIS, since it was established on June 22 in 2006 at UNIMAS, has had 595 trainees who had successfully completed their training.
Mancha added that of the total, 73 have successfully joined the PDRM.
The trainees undergo training for three years or six semesters taking a total of 672 hours with prescribed modules including parade training module, weapons training module, ethics and integrity management course module, General Operations Force (PGA) basic course module.
“Besides that, they learned basic first aid and rescue course modules, community service programme modules, martial arts modules and physical training modules.
“Therefore, the trainees are able to become a graduate who have high soft skills, shaping their personality towards becoming leaders of high calibre and knowledgeable in the field of policing,” he said.
Mancha hoped that all successful young volunteer inspectors who received the letters of appointment would retain their policing knowledge and good personal skills.
“My hope, and that of the PDRM leadership, is that they can lead students in fighting crimes and become excellent graduates in line with the national education philosophy and policy.
“I also hope that they can venture into the world of policing by applying to become inspectors in the police force,” he said.
