In a proactive measure aimed at addressing issues related to discipline and integrity within its ranks, the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) has introduced the new RBPF Code of Ethics and Conduct. This initiative seeks to instill a sense of ethical responsibility and professional conduct among all police force members while on duty, with the understanding that actions will be taken if compliance is not maintained.
Deputy Minister (Security and Law) of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Dato Seri Paduka Awang Haji Sufian Bin Haji Sabtu, highlighted the significance of this new code during his speech as guest of honour at the passing out parade for the Probationary Police Inspector Cadet Officers Squad 1/2023 and the male Police Constable Trainees Squad 1/2023. The event took place on Thursday morning at the parade ground of the Police Training Centre in Gadong.
Dato Seri Paduka Awang Haji Sufian stressed that any violations of the Code of Ethics and disciplinary standards would be addressed with utmost seriousness. The management, he emphasised, will not hesitate to take decisive actions, including legal prosecution or termination of services.
The passing out parade marked the culmination of rigorous training, spanning nine months, for twenty police inspector cadet officers and ninety-nine male police constable trainees. It celebrated their successful completion of the program and their readiness to serve with integrity and discipline within the RBPF.
