A National Police Academy - what is expected of it
This is true of all security forces, and one
reason for the enormous success of our military establishment is the
concerted training programme they have developed over the last

and air force, in addition to the Kotelawala Defence University, and

with high level training in communicative capacity, has transformed
our military into an exemplary force.

critical condition after having several bullets surgically removed
from his head.
