Unimas, in a statement, said the objective of the course was to enhance the knowledge and skills of auxiliary police personnel in the used of T-baton. It was also to improve their physique in order to face any challenges in the course of duty.
In addition, it was also to inculcate esprit de corp, positive behaviour and to exercise high discipline in their work.
Unimas also said the training was important as security could not be compromised in any organisation, what with the increase in the number of student population, motor vehicle and complex threats.
Such training not only allows the auxiliary police to be the eyes and ears of the enforcement authority but serve as effective assistants in crime prevention and to decrease criminal elements in the campus. — DayakDaily
