The TCI Community College continues to Partner with the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF)
Since the re-opening of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Training School in June 2010, the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College (TCICC) has been committed to its role in assisting with the preparation of the recruits for entry into the RTCI Police.
The Academic Dean of the TCICC, Mrs. Claudia Smith, has consistently prepared the recruits in the area of English and Communication, providing quality training and opportunities for application of the skills obtained during the course.
“I have witnessed the growth and development of each group of recruits over the past years. This year is no exception to the quality of candidates that have been enrolled in the training programme” remarked Mrs. Smith.
The English and Communication course includes a featured debate. This year’s recruits, numbering seventeen young women and men from around the Turks and Caicos, painstakingly prepared for the debate among their many other duties. The moot of the debate held at the RTCI Police Training School on July 5th 2012 read ‘Be it resolved that stricter penalties by the Judicial Department would result in a crime free Turks and Caicos Islands’.
The recruits were assigned to two teams, each carrying out research to assist them in convincing their opinions. Each team
selected its three presenters and a rebutter. The proposers of the moot, who emerged as overall champions of the debate were Ricardo Missick, Dovar Moultrie, Laura-Lee Jagroup and Tavania Wilson. The opposing team included Huntley Forbes Jr., Britney Forbes, Adrian Mason and Andrew Missick. Huntley Forbes Jr. emerged as the best speaker of the debate.
“I congratulate you all on a job well done” cheered Inspector Jerome Caley the Commandant of the Training School. “In addition, I wish to add that we are grateful for all that Mrs. Smith and her team have done in preparing the recruits for this debate. I have seen much improvement since its inception and I am pleased with the commitment that they have demonstrated” Inspector Caley continued.
