I visit Police Academy

“A question was asked of me whether I have been to the Police Academy and the answer is ‘yes’, I have been to the academy for two reasons. I think every minister, maybe every MP and a lot of people who are public officials are put through a process of personal safety and security training and in some cases you are required to check in with the police station,” Rambharat said.

“My wife would accompany me from time to time and there are visits to my home where there are sessions with the family and in that way I am not treated different from any current or past minister or public office holder,” he said.

“Very few ministers have to go into areas where you have marijuana being cultivated, where you have trap guns. I go out late at nights, I am on the road a lot and people who support law enforcement in my Ministry are exposed to a lot of risk during certain seasons like the hunting season and I have to look after their interests,” he said.

“So when you see me interface with law enforcement it is not that I am out there to have fun, I am simply doing my job and I think if it is one thing, people would like to know that I am safe and secure on a daily basis,” Rambharat said.
