Sa fai faatalanoaga ma auiliili le suesueina o sui apalai i le tele o itu eseese, ina ia mautino ai le filifiliga sao, mo tagata talafeagai mo le tofiga leoleo.

“To our new officers I encourage you to continue to learn, this is just the beginning of the police learning process.  Do not wait and expect our government or us to assist you, go up there and do it…as my grandmother from Savaii told me when I was a boy ‘knowledge is power’;

“As in the words of political philospher Niccolo Machiavelli – ‘It is not titles that honor men but men that honour titles'”.

“I also remind you of the oath that you have taken. Do not take it lightly; they are not just words, they mean something;

“Use the power that you now possess to help our government, our people, our country, Do not play favourites, do not work for personal gains, but be brave, be honest, be gracious, and the most important thing…be a great public servant.”

“You will be judged and you will be challenged by many…however I truly believe that it takes guts and love for the country to do what we do. And yes we are humans, and we do make mistakes but we always, must always try to do better, to do what is right and to do what our Heavenly Father want us to do”

Na taua e le Alii Komesina le tele o faalapotopotoga ma matagaluega a le malo sa fai sao atu i le aoaoina o lenei vasega e oo lava i le itu a le Faamasinoga e pei ona auai ai le Tamaitai Faamasino ia Tafaoimalo Leilani Tuala Warren e faailoa vaega e tatau ona silafia e leoleo i le Matagaluega o Faamasinoga mo le faatinoga o a latou tiute.
