The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force has commissioned a second deployment of five officers to the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur.
This was marked with a commissioning parade today at Rove, where the first deployment of five officers, which returned last month after spending one year in Sudan, was also welcomed back.
The five returning officers were each awarded the RSIPF International Law Enforcement Cooperation Medal in recognition of their contributions to the UN.
The police commissioner, Matthew Varley, said the deployments on the UN Peacekeeping Mission are great achievements for Solomon Islands and its police force.
