Acknowledgement

Lt Gen CC Binta

As the Chairperson of the South African Police Service’s Women’s Network Executive Council, I would like to thank all of you for making the first 2015 SARPCCO Regional Training Conference for Women in Policing, a reality.

It has been a long journey, following the planting of a seed at the SARPCCO Women’s Network Subcommittee meeting held in Namibia in March 2015.

Furthermore, let me extend my gratitude to everyone who made this conference such a successful event. Each one of you has made a unique contribution, and while it is impossible to give recognition to any specific individual, I want you to know that your collective effort is acknowledged and appreciated.

In our quest for women empowerment and equality within law enforcement, we pledge to continue developing ourselves through networking, training and mentoring each other. We further commit ourselves as a collective to identifying opportunities that will give women the same level of competency that will enable them to compete on an equal footing with their male counterparts.

Let me conclude by thanking all SARPCCO Police Chiefs for allowing us as the South African Police Service to host the first Police Women Training Conference and for releasing the members from their duties to attend this conference.

I hope every one of you will use the opportunities provided to learn, network and keep safe while enjoying your stay in South Africa.
