Leading by example on sacred ground


Drill & Musketry Instructor Terry Lee Yat-wing
helping a woman recruit police constable
overcome her initial fear of firearms on a range
at the Police Training School

DMI Lee explaining the finer points of handling,
aiming and shooting a sidearm to one of his
intake recruits

"Shoulders back, chin up, arms extended smartly!"
The process of training fresh recruits from raw
material to the finished, polished product gives
all DMIs great job satisfaction

There is a common misconception that discipline
is taught through fear. However, a good DMI
creates a constructive balance between the tough
discipline expected of a police officer and the
caring, considerate and understanding side of
the Force

Encouraging weaker,
and motivating stronger
trainees turns out fine police
officers who believe in the
Force vision and living the
values

Part of a DMI's job is to shape and
mould a group of individuals into
a cohesive and co-ordinated team
- no matter how uncoordinated to
begin with

Getting it exactly right. A DMI marking the
parade ground with chalk to help police
trainees with the demanding precision
necessary to execute their marching drills
