JAKARTA - The Police Mobile Brigade Corps has sent 14 of its best personnel to participate in training programs in Turkey and Northern Ireland in order to improve the quality of the capabilities of the members of the Dark Blue Corps.

Brimob Corps Commander Inspector General Anang Revandoko said the two countries have a high reputation in handling bombs in the world. Of the 14 personnel, 10 were sent to Turkey and four officers to Belfast Ireland.

"The Police Mobile Brigade Corps has dispatched 10 of its best personnel to practice handling ammunition, mines and explosives in Turkey," said Inspector General Anang in a written statement quoted by Antara, Friday, May 6.

He explained that the training program in Turkey was a continuation of the collaboration between the Mobile Brigade Corps and the Turkish National Gendarmarie Command since 2021. The collaboration was initiated by the Dankor Brimob Polri and the Turkish National Gendarmarie Commander.

At the same time the Police Mobile Brigade Corps also dispatched four officers to attend the Bomb Data Center Working Group's international seminar and conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Anang said that Turkey is experienced in dealing with armed groups in the Middle East. Thus, Brimob Corps personnel will have the ability to handle ammunition, mines, and explosives with a spectrum in the Middle East region.

The officer's departure to Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, he continued, to increase the Brimob Corps' resources to match threats, disturbances, obstacles and challenges.

"This is in line with the hope of the National Police Chief so that the Mobile Brigade Corps can respond and anticipate potential threats, especially in handling ammunition, mines and explosives," said Anang.

During the training, Brimob Polri personnel learned to identify in other countries, both in Northern Ireland and Turkey.

It is hoped that the 14 personnel sent to Turkey and Northern Ireland represent the entire ranks of the Police Mobile Brigade Corps, which totals 44,800 personnel.

"I really hope that you will learn from Turkey and Northern Ireland," he said.

Not only that, the 14 personnel upon their return from Turkey and Northern Ireland are expected to transfer their knowledge and experience to all ranks of the Mobile Brigade Corps. Thus, the capability and capacity of the Brimob Corps personnel is getting better and more professional.

"So, there is an increase in the ability to handle ammunition, mines, and explosives. It is more professional in accordance with the expectations of the National Police Chief," he explained.

During the release ceremony, Anang also said that the Brimob Polri personnel were loyal and brave personnel with professional abilities.

"Always guard the honor of the Brimob Police Corps and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," Anang said.
