Policing officers in the Southern Division are undergoing a four-day Restorative Justice Trainers’ Program that is aimed to equip officers on how to manage disputes and conflicts in their line of work in a non-violent manner.

This workshop also focuses on building relationships, giving respect, taking responsibility, undertaking repair, and supporting reintegration.

During the opening of the training program, Director of Community Policing and Senior Superintendent of Police Mitieli Divuana says community policing is the way forward.
