Libya’s Ministry of Interior in Tripoli announced that around 550 male and female students from various cities and regions across the country have officially joined the Police Officers College and the Women Police Officers College, marking a significant step in strengthening the national security sector through broader societal representation.
The ministry said on Wednesday that the Interior Minister in the Government of National Unity, Emad Al-Trabelsi, oversaw on Tuesday the administrative procedures linked to the enrolment of the 39th intake at the Police Officers College and the 15th intake at the Women Police Officers College. The ministry confirmed that all students were admitted after successfully completing the approved stages and requirements of the national entrance examinations.
During his address, Al-Trabelsi instructed the new recruits to adhere strictly to training guidelines, respect their instructors and colleagues, and uphold a spirit of teamwork and discipline. He stressed that the loyalty of this intake must be “first to God, then to the homeland”, highlighting the importance of professional conduct and a unified national identity throughout their training journey.
The minister also urged the recruits to distance themselves from tribal and regional divisions, emphasising that the interests of the country must come before any personal or local affiliations. He added that the ministry is counting on the new students to become capable police officers who contribute effectively to protecting citizens and enhancing public safety.
According to the ministry, the arrival of this new intake is part of broader efforts to boost human capacity, improve institutional performance, and reinforce security bodies with well-trained and qualified personnel. The move aligns with a comprehensive vision aimed at modernising Libya’s policing sector, improving operational standards, and ensuring that upcoming generations of officers are equipped to meet the country’s evolving security challenges.
