Our new police recruits have just had their first uniform inspection by Inspector Stewart Finegan at Devil’s Tower Camp this afternoon.

Fourteen officers (nine male and five female) will now complete a 26-week intensive training school, before joining the Response Teams for a two-year probation period.

In addition, three Gibraltar Defence Police and two Royal Falkland Islands Police officers will join the training school – before returning to their respective forces.

The recruits come from a wide variety of backgrounds including the military, the Gibraltar Health Authority, the financial industry and a professional chef.

An RGP spokesman said: “We’d like to welcome our latest recruitment class to Gibraltar’s Thin Blue Line family.”
