“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.

A Hero in Uniform

The Story of Constable Heather Japha.

Yesterday was an ordinary day on special patrol for Constable Heather Japha, attached to the Central Police Station, when she came across a serious road traffic accident along Constitution Avenue. Without hesitation, she responded to the scene, where a woman lay motionless on the road. The situation was critical the victim had no pulse and was not breathing.

Relying on her training and instinct, Constable Japha immediately began performing Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation 🫁 (CPR). After several minutes of persistent effort, the victim began to show signs of life. She had been successfully resuscitated, her life saved even before the ambulance arrived.

Constable Japha’s quick actions and calm response under pressure made all the difference. In recognition of her bravery and dedication to duty, the Seychelles Police Force formally acknowledged her heroic act, praising her commitment to preserving life and serving the community.

Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the difference one officer can make and the true meaning of service in the line of duty.
