Philipsburg: -- Six new cadets left St Maarten on an Insel flight to Curacao, where for the next 15 months they will be undergoing training to become full, fledge police officers. In Curacao the new cadets met with the other cadets from St Maarten that are presently in training.
Two of the six new cadets, who are Miss Ilka Schmidt and Mr. Rexcarlos Courtar, are from the sister island of St Eustatius. The community of St Eustatius is quite proud of having two of its own attend the police academy in Curacao. The other cadets are; Rumini Rogers, John Boyrard, Suandy Doran and Gerson Jakobus. Before boarding the flight the Acting Chief of Police Commissioner Ademar Doran spoke to the cadets and gave them some kind words of advice and a lot of encouragement.
