Blue beret for Royal Netherlands Marechaussee students
On Tuesday, the 25th of June, the class of students of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee received the blue beret from Chief Guard Alexander Pasveer, Sector Basic Training instructor of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee Education, Training and Knowledge Center (OTCKMar) in Apeldoorn. The students thus concluded their course in the Netherlands.
On the 8th of April, the students went to the Netherlands to follow the General, Integrated Professional Skills Training (IBT) and DOC1 modules at the OTCKMar in Apeldoorn. These modules are part of the General Investigation Officer Caribbean Netherlands (AO KMar CN) course.
The remainder of the training takes place on Bonaire where they are further trained to become general investigating officers in the Caribbean Netherlands.
All in all, a busy and impressive period for them, during which a lot of studying and learning IBT skills were central. The students are expected to complete the overall training in January 2025.
