SEYCHELLES POLICE FORCE INAUGURATES HISTORIC CIVILIANS-LED POLICE COUNCIL TO DRIVE COMMUNITY POLICING

In a landmark move destined to redefine the relationship between law enforcement and the public, the Seychelles Police Force has officially inaugurated its first-ever Police Council. The historic announcement was made during an official ceremony where eight prominent members of civil society were formally appointed to serve a three-year tenure on the advisory body.
Established under the administrative authority of the Police Force Act, the newly formed Council is designed to serve as a vital advisory platform and a strategic bridge between the police executive and the citizens of Seychelles.
Speaking on behalf of the Minister for Homeland Security and Civil Affairs, Minister James Camille, and the Seychelles Police Department, the Commissioner of Police Mr. Godfra Hermitte highlighted that this initiative marks a monumental shift toward a deeply rooted community policing foundation. "The Police Council is not merely an advisory body; it is a bridge between the Police and the citizens of Seychelles," the keynote address emphasized. "By inviting respected members of our society to serve as civilian representatives, we ensure that the voices, concerns, and aspirations of our people are heard at the highest levels of policing deliberation."
The administration extended its profound gratitude to the council members for stepping forward to serve voluntarily, praising their dedication to the safety and well-being of the nation. Special appreciation was also directed toward the Government under the leadership of President Dr. Patrick Herminie for its unwavering backing of this historic milestone.
"Together, let us continue to build a Police Force that is professional, accountable, and responsive to the needs of our people," the ceremony concluded. "May this Council be a beacon of collaboration and a symbol of our shared commitment to justice and security for our beloved Seychelles."
