According to the interior deputy minister, the officers have gone through rigorous training in both weaponry and tactics and that what is expected off them at theatre to fly the Green, White and Blue flag is character.
"In upholding character, key things you must abide by is tasks and responsibilities, don't speak when it is not necessary or you are not required to, maintain team spirit and discipline," he said, noting that any negative conduct would not only tell on an individual but the SLP and the country. 
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. Ambrose Michael Sovula disclosed that the officers in their contributions to global peace will represent three things which he said includes their family name, the SLP as an institution and Sierra Leone.

By Kembay Sierra Leoneans and other non citizens residents in Sierra Leone were shocked over a statements made by the ousted United States of America Ambassador, David Reimer in a local Radio broadcast on Thursday 17th August, 2023. The ousted US Ambassador statements which all listeners viewed as adding insult to injury came at a time the country is still grappling with it political and economic stalemate just after the June 24 2023 general elections.  Ambassador Reimer statements in that broadcast exposed him of putting personal sentiments above diplomatic protocols in adherence to sovereignty.  Where in the world has Reimer seeing the opposition accepting defeat or has he forgotten that as we speak, Donald Trump is yet to accept the victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 US elections over allegations of irregularities?
