700 Goa Police Recruits trained From Assam’s Lachit Barphukan Academy

way2barak, August 13 : A total of 700 constables of the Indian Reserve Battalion (IRBn), Goa Police, on Tuesday passed out at the Lachit Barphukan Police Academy (LBPA) in Assam.

Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma and Goa Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant attended the event as chief guests. Senior police officials from both states, as well as family members of the recruits, witnessed the historic occasion.

Biswa Sarma described the occasion as a proud moment for Assam, noting that LBPA had successfully trained 700 Goa Police cadets over 10 months. He thanked Dr. Sawant for his trust and underlined that such exchanges build national unity.

“This academy, inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is a matter of pride for Assam and India. We are always ready to train police personnel from any part of the country,” Sarma said.

The Assam Chief Minister further said that the harmonious relationship between Goa and Assam would contribute to strengthening India’s unity and security.

Chief minister Pramod Sawant urged the constables to work to keep Goa safe and secure.

Sawant said that the police role is important to keep Goa safe, secure, and beautiful, and the constables will be committed to doing that.

Sawant stated that 700 IRBn constables, 569 males and 131 females, will join Goa police. He mentioned that this is not the end of training but a proud moment for them.

“Heartiest congratulations to the 700 recruits of the Indian Reserve Battalion, Goa police, on successfully completing their rigorous training. My gratitude to the chief minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, for graciously extending Assam’s state-of-the-art training facilities,” Sawant said.

He said, “This remarkable collaboration reflects the true spirit of national unity and reinforces the vision of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.”

Sawant noted that in the 10-month training, constables learned about crime detection, documentation collection, crowd management or crowd control, cybercrime, and human rights.

He emphasised that police are very close to the public and should reach out to them in case of a disaster. He said that the public always expects police to work without bias and provide justice.

“People expect you to follow the law; your behaviour creates the image of police in the public mind, and that is the reason you have to earn the trust of the public by being honest and sensitive,” Sawant said.

The chief minister stated that the constables have been trained to serve the people of Goa. “When you wear the uniform, it is not just a belt and clothes but a responsibility, and now you have become the sons of the country and the state,” Sawant said.
