He said the question is whether the team will be helpful and contribute positively or not,China Adidas Hockey Jerseys, before positing that any move in the current direction will see the people being the beneficiaries.“There are some who claim to have a wealth of knowledge on security matters, and claim to be security experts, who themselves question the necessity for a SWAT team… but I am not a security expert and I don’t have a wealth of knowledge on security matters,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, I am just a mere politician.”The Minister said that based on what he has learnt on security matters, he is uncertain how those claiming to know so much about security, question the need for a SWAT team.Minister Rohee charged that from 2004 to last year, some $2B has been spent on security.

Minister Rohee highlighted investments made in equipment such as the force’s water cannon, CCTV (surveillance), forensic improvement and transportation among other things, before reiterating the need for citizens to experience a more secure country based on the money that is being spent.The Minister urged citizens to see the establishment of a SWAT team as a phase of the modernization of the GPF.“The establishment of this unit has to be looked at in the context of modernizing the GPF. If you are modernizing the force and you have done other interventions… establishing a SWAT team must be seen as part and parcel of modernizing the force; it is moving from the old into the new, and that is a positive development.”Commissioner of Police Leroy Brumell said that despite the need of the SWAT team to have the ability to dilute sporadic matters of security, the most important aspect is, “serious discipline, training, coordination,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, precision, professionalism and the ability to make positive decisions in any eventuality.”He said the Administration saw training as pivotal and thus collated with The Emergence Group (TEG) to formalize training.“Sporadic situations emerging, if not manage effectively, can evolve into acts of terrorism; as such a SWAT team is a vital component to our organizational structure. SWAT establishes strong training attendance standards which are mandatory, day by day, addressing civil and state emerging issues such as hostage rescue, resolving high-risk issues, and dissolving acts of terrorism.”Brumell informed the gathering that the selection process for the SWAT team was based on criteria set out by senior management and specialized officers of the GPF who looked at age, health, mind-set, years of service, experience and conduct.“There are two major benefits of enhanced SWAT training; improvement in job specification, general physical preparedness, and overall physical performance. It reduces injury rates which can lead to the operational longevity of the SWAT operator.”Dennis Hays, Director of TEG, the group tasked with training the officers, explained the purpose of SWAT and related the benefits of the unit. He highlighted that SWAT is also another way of ensuring security in the country, based on the high level of training and tactics. He stated further that SWAT helps also to reduce the amount of violence needed to keep the country safe.Senior Superintendent Paul Williams, Force Training Officer, introduced 15 Constables,Supply Cheap Jerseys, three Cadet Officers, Corporals and Sergeants, two Assistant Superintendents and one Special Constable, as the initial batch of SWAT trainees.
