83. One Senior officer and seventeen junior officers attended courses of instruction in the United Kingdom (details are at Appendix 10).

THE POLICE TRAINING CONTINGENT-INTERNAL SECURITY TRAINING

84. The Police Training Contingent undertakes the training of all ranks up to and including Assistant Superintendent in internal security duties, provides a reserve of manpower on immediate call for emer- gency duty at any time and provides leadership training for the junior officer and N.C.O.

(a) a two-week cadre course attended by the Company Commander,

Inspectors and N.C.O.'s; and

(b) an eight-week course during which the officers and N.C.O.'s instruct the constables under the guidance of the permanent staff. 86. During the year, ten complete companies, comprising 10 Gazetted officers, 60 Inspectorate officers, 150 N.C.O.'s and 1,020 P.C.'s completed a course of training at the Contingent. At the end of the year one complete company (1 Gazetted officer, 6 Inspectorate officers, 15 N.C.O.'s and 102 P.C.'s) was under training.
