On July 1, 2026, the graduation and annual awards ceremony of Petite Savanne Primary School in Dominica hosted a special recognition segment led by a local law enforcement officer, highlighting an ongoing partnership between the national police force and island educational institutions.
Acting Sergeant Dion Moses took to the stage during the event to present the inaugural Dion Moses Most Disciplined Student Award to graduating student Regev B. Bougouneau, who was selected for the honor out of all pupils at the school.
As outlined in an official announcement shared to the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force’s public Facebook page, the award was created to celebrate students who maintain exceptionally high standards of conduct across an entire academic year. To earn the distinction, candidates must consistently show unwavering self-discipline, respect for peers and staff, a strong sense of personal responsibility, and behavior that serves as a model for other students throughout the school community.
This awards presentation is not an isolated event, but a core component of the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force’s wider Community Policing Programme. The program was developed with a clear dual mission: to build deeper, trust-based connections between local law enforcement teams and educational institutions across the island, and to create consistent, positive opportunities for police officers to engage with Dominica’s young population outside of traditional law enforcement contexts.
In its statement, the police force emphasized that the long-term goal of this youth-focused initiative is to nurture strong moral character among school-aged children. By publicly celebrating positive behavior and outstanding conduct, organizers hope to inspire young Dominicans to practice intentional decision-making from an early age, empowering them to grow into engaged, responsible leaders who will contribute positively to their local communities in the years ahead.
Along with recognizing Bougouneau’s achievement, the police force’s Facebook post extended formal congratulations to every graduating student of Petite Savanne Primary School’s 2026 class, wishing each cohort member smooth transitions and ongoing academic achievement as they advance to the next stage of their educational careers.
