SIX new police constables took their oaths today, officially joining the ranks of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTICIPF).

During the brief yet poignant ceremony, the newly appointed officers pledged to uphold justice, safeguard the community, and fulfill their duties with unwavering pride and integrity.

Addressing the constables, Commissioner of Police (ag) Christopher Eyre commended the dedication of those currently serving while emphasizing the crucial role the newcomers would play in addressing the challenges confronting the Turks and Caicos Islands.

In closing remarks, Commissioner Eyre expressed his pride in the RTICIPF's response to emerging challenges and expressed confidence in the newly enlisted officers' ability to excel as integral members of the force.
