Two senior leaders of the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) have marked a major professional milestone, wrapping up one of the law enforcement community’s most rigorous international leadership development programs and earning their Level 6 Gold certification in International Leadership and Management for 2026.
Acting Superintendent Michael Sebastian and Inspector Murthy Jno. Jules completed the intensive training program, which ran from February 23 to April 2, 2026, at a host venue in Bridgetown, Barbados. The 6-week course was a collaborative initiative between the Regional Security System, the Caribbean’s leading regional security and capacity-building body, and Durham Constabulary, one of the United Kingdom’s most respected police forces. Aligned with the 2026 program’s core theme “Together Empowering Leaders: A Global Approach to Excellence,” the curriculum was built to address the evolving strategic challenges facing modern law enforcement.
Unlike tactical or operational training programs, this gold-level course is tailored exclusively for senior law enforcement personnel serving in executive and strategic leadership roles. Eligible participants include senior superintendents, division commanders, and assistant commissioners from regional police forces, with a curriculum focused on boosting both personal leadership capabilities and long-term professional growth. Trainees graduated with the advanced strategic management skills required to lead large teams, complex departmental operations, and entire law enforcement organizations effectively across shifting security landscapes.
Following the announcement of the two officers’ successful completion, the CDPF issued an official statement celebrating the pair’s achievement and reaffirming the force’s ongoing commitment to investing in continuous professional development and leadership advancement for its personnel. “The CDPF remains dedicated to nurturing the next generation of policing leaders as we continue striving for excellence in policing and national service to the people of Dominica,” the statement read.
