A total of 275 students will enrol in various courses at the Police Academy next month.
Lieutenant-Colonel Fahad Saeed al-Subaie, deputy chairman of the Police Academy and director of the Police College, told local Arabic daily *Arrayah that 120 students will join the 11th batch of the academy’s Police College on September 28.
“The new students will begin the first foundational period (recruitment period) which extends for 50 days, to transfer the student from civilian life to military life gradually,” he said.
“The period will have a strict training plan, through which the candidates learn military discipline and organisational skills,” Lt-Col al-Subaie said, adding that the academy would also receive 155 candidates for the third batch of the Police Sciences Diploma.
The new batch will also have candidates from abroad, including non-Arab countries for the first time.
The students will undergo the first foundational period of 50 days.
The period will be in two stages that include military training in infantry, weapons, physical fitness and shooting, in addition to introductory lectures on military discipline, the military service law and practical subjects in first aid.
After completing the foundational period, the trainees will join the academic programme, which includes police and legal subjects, and subjects in general requirements such as Arabic and English, computers and the history of Qatar.
