In an interview, ASP Dayangku Nor Azriani, who currently heads the Tutong District Traffic Police, shared with the Bulletin the duties and responsibilities of police rank officers.
She said an assistant police superintendant has challenging responsibilities. She said the conformation gives her great encouragement to carry out her tasks, adding that she has been experiencing many challenges as a traffic police officer.
A graduate in teaching from Universiti Brunei Darussalam, she hopes to enhance her career and progress to other areas such as crime prevention.
Just recently, prior to her confirmation, she underwent a nine-month professional training course in Singapore, which she said developed a police mentality in her mind.
She was trained in the law and order aspect and taught how to implement her police or legal powers as well as about the limits of them.
Other than academic aspects, she also underwent intense physical training, which according to her was mandatory for every officer to pass.
Other than that, she also did combat and martial arts training including the use of tasers. She had to be shot with tasers so that she knows how the tasers will feel like, Dayangku Nor Azriani added.
“We police do not carry weapons while on routine duty, and we are trained to defend ourselves with the use of self-defence techniques including by using the police baton. Sometimes we don’t even carry the baton, but we are trained to defend ourselves without that and where to hit and how to pull them (attackers) down,” she said.
