The Royal Montserrat Police Service recently completed its second cohort of ‘use of force’ training for police officers and His Majesty’s Prison staff, focusing on safe, lawful practices.
The sessions covered laws and policies governing force, decision-making processes, and techniques for conflict management and de-escalation.
Officers Kelroy Huggins and Mick Jr Pope led the training from 30 September to 4 October, a statement from the police service said.
They have each been certified by the United Kingdom’s National Tactical Response Group in conjunction with the Ministry of Justice Overseas Territories Prison Programme.
“Both instructors were pleased with the level of participation from the participants,” the statement said.
The police service aims to continue offering these comprehensive training sessions as part of its commitment to community safety and responsible policing.
