In a historic milestone, the Somaliland Police Force has officially become the 41st member of the Commonwealth Police Sports Union (CPSU), marking a significant step in fostering international cooperation and advancing police sports. The agreement was formalized today in Hargeisa during a signing ceremony between Major General Abdirahman Abdilahi Hasan, Commander of the Somaliland Police Force, and Mr. Sunil Kumar, Secretary of the CPSU.
The CPSU, a globally recognized organization, promotes collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of sports among police forces in its member countries. Somaliland’s inclusion as the 41st member underscores its growing presence on the international stage and commitment to enhancing professional and athletic opportunities for its police force.
The signing ceremony was attended by prominent figures, including Ambassador Hasan Da’ud and senior officers from the Somaliland Police Force, alongside a high-level delegation from the CPSU.
Major General Abdirahman Abdilahi Hasan hailed the membership as a gateway to new opportunities, stating, “Joining the CPSU opens doors for our police force to engage in sports, specialized training, and international partnerships, which will strengthen our capabilities and global connections.”
Mr. Sunil Kumar echoed this sentiment, expressing his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to welcome Somaliland as the 41st member of the CPSU. This is a pivotal moment for fostering stronger ties and collaboration among police forces worldwide.”
This development is expected to enhance the Somaliland Police Force’s participation in international police sports events, training programs, and collaborative initiatives, further solidifying its role in global law enforcement networks.
