INSPECTORATE POST RECRUIT TRAINING
79. A system of post recruit training for probationary sub-inspectors operates in the Force. On leaving the Training School each probationary sub-inspector is now subject to a programme which has been arranged to cover his next six months of service, and includes:
(a) a two weeks attachment to the Headquarters of the Division to
which he is posted;
(b) the performance of general police duties for a period of three months under the supervision of older and more experienced colleagues;
(c) attachments to specialist branches for short periods; and (d) close supervision for the whole of the six months period during which he is frequently interviewed and reported on by his senior officers.
After this the officer is gradually given more responsible duties, but training is continued for the remaining two years of his probationary period by means of regular lectures. During this two year period a probationary sub-inspector has to attend a two weeks intermediate re- fresher course at the end of the first year and final refresher course at the end of two years.
