The Seychelles Marine Police proudly hosted a certificate presentation ceremony last week for students from the Maritime School who successfully completed a one month intensive training program with the unit.
This initiative marks a historic milestone for the Marine Police, being the first specialized training conducted in partnership with the Maritime School. The program was designed to equip students with essential practical skills, discipline, and operational awareness, preparing them to contribute to the protection and security of Seychelles’ maritime domain.
Speaking at the ceremony, Inspector Andrew Sinon, Commander of the Marine Police Unit, commended the participants for their efforts:
“You are part of history. By completing this training, you have shown resilience, determination, and respect for the maritime profession. The Seychelles Marine Police is proud to stand alongside you as you take this knowledge forward. Remember, discipline and integrity will guide you wherever this journey leads.”
Over the course of the training, students received instruction in key areas, including:
- Basic Navigation
- Maritime Law
- Physical Training & Drill
- Water Survival
The program was delivered under the guidance of SI Killindo, PC P. Lajoie, Sergeant Robert, and Sergeant Hoareau, who ensured a high standard of learning and practical exposure throughout.
The Seychelles Police Force commends all students for their commitment and dedication and looks forward to further collaborations with the Maritime School in strengthening the skills and readiness of future maritime professionals.
