Human Resource Development

Candidates for the Specialized Narcotics Investigation training are selected by unit commanders based on interest and passion; the training includes theoretical and practical components including on-site training at locations such as airports, ports, and cold storage.

“Correct , Commissioner . It is also people that want to have an interest . It is pointless you come sit for a couple of weeks and you do not have an interest in the topic . You have got to have an interest in the field . You have got to be passionate about it . We do a theory , and then we actually did the physical , where we took people into the airport . We took people into the port . We took people into a minus 40 degree cold storage and showed them how to work in that environment . So you have got a practical feel for it . You have got the theoretical feel for it , but you also had to work every night . They had theory to do , they had tests to write , and it was sat in by HRD , the Human Resource Development . There is two sections in HR , and they then bring it through . It was myself and members from head office , and I say it was a highlight of my career .”
