VICTORIA, Seychelles Police constables Aaron Dubel and Raaj Magloire of the Seychelles Marine Police Unit have successfully completed a Training of Trainers programme delivered by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, earning certification as qualified instructors.
The programme is designed not only to strengthen subject knowledge but also to develop participants into professional trainers capable of delivering structured and impactful instruction within their organisations. Through this internationally recognised training, PC Dubel and PC Magloire have been equipped with advanced teaching methodologies and leadership skills to support capacity building within the Seychelles Police Force.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime delivers Training of Trainers programmes across key areas such as maritime security, law enforcement, counter-terrorism and criminal justice, all directly aligned with the operational responsibilities of the Marine Police Unit. The training emphasises a practical and interactive approach, incorporating scenario-based exercises, simulations, role play and real-life case studies.
During the course, both officers underwent intensive training and successfully completed the programme. They are now recognised as certified trainers, capable of delivering specialised sessions to fellow officers and contributing to the professional development of personnel within the force.
This certification represents a significant step toward strengthening local training capacity and ensuring knowledge transfer at the national level. The achievement reflects the Seychelles Police Force continued commitment to professional development and collaboration with international partners such as UNODC.
The certification of PC Dubel and PC Magloire enhances the Marine Police Unit capacity to deliver maritime security training internally, reducing reliance on external instructors while maintaining international standards.
