PHILIPSBURG:--- The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) would like to announce the successful completion of several key training programs to enhance its personnel's professional development and strengthen community policing.
Five KPSM officers recently returned from Miami, where they completed an intensive week-long training program to become certified School Resource Officers. This specialized training equips officers with the necessary skills to build positive relationships with students, foster a safe school environment, and effectively address youth-related issues within educational institutions.
In addition, several KPSM personnel participated in an intensive BAVPOL training program (Buitengewoon Agent van Politie) conducted in collaboration with various government departments. Each department focused on its own area of expertise, contributing to a well-rounded and highly professional training experience.
KPSM would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the officers who successfully completed their training and extend sincere gratitude to the institutions, trainers, and partner organizations that made these essential training programs possible.
Continuous training and development remain a top priority for KPSM as the organization works to improve public safety and community engagement across the island.
