“The Police Commission has given the approval for members of the Civil Security Force (CSF), who are under 30 years of age to directly become Police Constables in the Police Department,” IGP Perera said.
The police Chief made this comment addressing a passing out ceremony at the Higher Training School of the Civil Security Force in Galkiriyagama, where some 156 trained personnel of the CSF completed their two months training.
Speaking at the event, Director General of the CSF Rtd. Rear Admiral Sarath Weerasekera said members of the CSF can now enjoy facilities similar to other forces. “One of the main facilities is, if a CSF member dies, the next of kin will receive the CSF member’s monthly salary until the member is 55 years of age,” he said.
“These personnel will be deployed in their own villages and will work together with security forces and Police personnel,” he said.
The newly passed out members underwent training during the last two months. Accordingly, these personnel are experts in deep penetration operations, small group operations etc.
Currently there are 35,000 CSF members serving in several areas in the Northern and Eastern provinces.
