Acting Commissioner Papali’i Monalisa Tiai-Keti bade farewell to the officers at a function on Friday.
The contingent which included one female officer left Samoa today.
They will be on tenure with the United Nations Peacekeeping for one year.
Acting Commissioner Papali’I reminded the officers of the importance of being ambassadors of Samoa to the UN and to adhere to the values and the code of conduct of the Samoa Police whilst on deployment.
He said they have to use the opportunity to learn and get more experience while working in South Sudan.
Peacekeeping deployment is consider vital and it is part of the Samoa’s Government commitment to the United Nations since 1999.
Samoa’s peacekeeping contribution is highly recommended at the International arena given the unique Pacific communal approach our officers has to offer.
