Diploma in police studies

The aim of this program is to prepare Police Officers to achieve a high level of Knowledge, Skills, Attitude (KSA) and Understanding that are required to meet the policing needs of the community and in the performance of their duties. It will also help them to acquire higher education and qualifications, which will benefit the individual, the team, the organization and the country. In this program, the officers will learn day-to-day management of human and other resources, basic legal aspects of policing coupled with human rights issues, Law of Evidence and court procedures in Mauritius and specially disaster and crisis management.

The objectives are:
(1) By the end of this Diploma, Police Officers will be better equipped to deal with their internal and external customers promptly and thus help to improve the image of the MPF.
(2) Police Officers with a diploma/degree at hand will have better techniques to tackle problems, better planning and decision-making process and prompt actions will be taken to find solutions. All these may be achieved through proper Training and Development. Work based, reflective and experiential Learning is a key factor to the success of the MPF since most officers learn on the job.
