MUKAH (July 25): The Mukah District Police Headquarters has placed a strong focus on operational judgement, tactical readiness, and team cohesion through its 2025 Annual Firearms Training exercise.
Mukah police chief DSP Muhamad Rizal Alias, who led the two-day live-fire exercise, said the training aimed not only to sharpen shooting proficiency but also to build mental discipline and preparedness in high-pressure situations.
'This training is not just about marksmanship ― it's about making sound decisions based on real-time scenarios,' he said when contacted today.
'It prepares our officers to respond with precision while remaining grounded in legal and humane considerations.'
Held at the Bintulu shooting range, the exercise involved 139 personnel, including senior officers. Participants underwent a mandatory safety briefing before proceeding with the live-fire drills, which were supervised by experienced Mukah District Police Headquarters trainers.
Among the firearms used were the .38 Smith & Wesson revolver, Tara 9mm semi-automatic pistol, and CZ P10 9mm semi-automatic pistol.
Muhamad Rizal, who also took part in the training, expressed satisfaction with the level of professionalism demonstrated by the team.
'This training cultivates confidence and enhances operational readiness. It's part of our continuous effort to ensure that our officers are capable of safely handling firearms when required,' he said.
He added that such sessions also reinforce camaraderie and accountability within the force.
'We practise the principle of complementing each other ― sharing strengths while collectively addressing weaknesses. That's how we build team spirit and discipline in the field,' he added.
Looking ahead, Muhamad Rizal revealed plans to refine future training modules by incorporating greater emphasis on ethical decision-making and proportional use of force.
'Our next phase will centre on improving decision-making accuracy, balancing legal responsibilities with humane judgment.'
The training concluded without incident and met its objectives, further strengthening Mukah District Police Headquarters' preparedness in protecting public safety. firearms training Mukah police
