NYAMASHEKE DISTRICT WELCOMES 20 NEW DASSO OFFICERS, URGES THEM TO UPHOLD PROFESSIONALISM

The officers, who completed their training at Gishari Training Centre in Rwamagana District on 29 October 2026, met with District leadership on 12 November 2026. The meeting aimed to familiarise them with their working environment, responsibilities and expectations as they embarked on their induction period.

Addressing the officers, the Nyamasheke District Police Commander, SSP Leon Niyomwungeri, urged them to fully understand their responsibility to protect the security of residents and their property. He reminded them that, following their security training, they had taken on new responsibilities and were no longer ordinary civilians in the sense that they were before joining the service.

He encouraged them to embrace their duties, develop a positive attitude towards their work and maintain close cooperation among themselves, particularly with the Rwanda National Police, to ensure effective security management.

He further emphasised the importance of discipline, professionalism and teamwork in their daily duties, warning them against engaging in any misconduct that could damage their reputation or undermine public trust.

On behalf of the District leadership, the Acting Mayor of Nyamasheke District, Mr Muneza Placide, welcomed the new officers and encouraged them to learn from experienced colleagues, particularly those who demonstrate strong professional values and integrity, in order to improve their performance.

He also urged them to maintain exemplary conduct and assured them that the District would continue working closely with DASSO and other security organs to safeguard residents and their property.

The meeting, attended by various District officials, marked the beginning of the newly recruited officers' induction period, during which they are expected to familiarise themselves with their duties, working environment and institutional expectations.
