The “COVID-19 Tsunami” has been spreading across the world. Considering the fact that the trainees are required to live on campus during the weekdays, the COVID-19, once infected, may spread easily and lead to a mass infection. Thus, how to balance anti-virus measure and the quality of the training is a great challenge indeed.
In order to cooperate with the anti-virus policy and the principle of “Always overestimate your enemies, Never loosen your precautions” from the Minister of Interior, the Extended Education Training Center strengthened its precautions to retain the quality of learning, such as taking the temperature day and night, cancelling large-scale assemblies, wearing face masks in class and disinfecting surrounding environment.
（The trainees had their temperature taken while enrolling.）
Police Sergeant Class 41 and Firefighter Sergeant Class 25 of Category 4 Batch 1 have started their training since March 3, 2021. A total of 453 cadets have completed their registration, including 341 police officers and 112 firefighters. For the purpose of familiarizing themselves with the campus and settling down, CPU held 3-day orientation activities since the day of enrolling. The orientation not only focused on the basic military training and the obeying of disciplines to arouse the cohesion and establish the correct concept, but also enhanced the epidemic prevention, such as training outdoor, social-distancing and wearing face masks. They also tried their best to clean and disinfect the dormitory and surrounding of the campus in the shortest time.
In addition to temperature-taking before entering the gate of CPU, students need to provide their contact and travel history, and fill out the epidemic prevention evaluating form (TOCC). Large-scale activities including the assembly of opening ceremony have been cancelled. Staff members and cadets have to report back their daily temperatures on time, wash their hands constantly, and wear face masks while taking courses in classrooms as well as disinfection of microphones, power switches of light and door handles. Seating arrangement in classrooms is rearranged and students need to take the epidemic prevention educational courses. They are forbidden to talk while having meals and are encouraged to bring the food back to the dormitory to decrease the risks of group infection.
Currently, the cadets of Category 4 have been in school for 1 weeks and everything has gone smoothly. Although they are elder compared to most of the students in CPU, they cherish the hard-earned chances of advanced studies. Students have worked hard in classes. They interact closely with teachers and do their duties, winning all the praise and recognition. The spreading of COVID-19 hasn’t ebbed, CPU is still apprehensive and careful as if treading on thin ice. It is expected that CPU could accomplish the educational training of every category and class as scheduled in this unquiet year and raise excellent police officers who live up to our nationals’ expectations for the country as usual.
