Inspector Badjie said that he has been witnessed a series of occasions such as this one but he was very impressed and encouraged by the management of Premier Security company. He also told the grandaunts that their welfare is their main concern, at the Interpol Department.

Inspector Badjie added that the graduates need to be loyal obedient, just, respectful to each other and abide by the law to enable them to perform their job effectively.

For his part, Salieu Taal, director and shareholder of Premier Security Company in The Gambia, explained briefly to the gathering about his relationship with the proprietor of Premier Security company Mr Noort Robert a Dutch national.

According to Mr Taal, Robert has the 32 years experience in security. He said that it was he that convinced Mr Robert to come and establish this company in The Gambia which is geared towards improving quality education of young talented Gambians.

He also thanked Mr Robert for his effort in setting up the company in The Gambia with the aim of educating security officers and protecting lives and properties.

The chief executive director of Premier Security Company in Holland, Mr Noort Robert, told the grandaunts to utilise the knowledge gained during this short period of training course and put it into practice.

He also urged them to come back and take more advanced courses.
