SUBANG: The effectiveness of the Police Air Operations Force (PGU) goes beyond its pilots, relying on the skills and dedication of engineers, technicians, operations officers, flight crew, administrative staff and other personnel working together to ensure smooth operations.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said while rank and position might define an individual’s authority, human values, mutual respect and camaraderie must transcend differences in hierarchy.
He said officers and personnel at all levels should set aside personal interests and foster a culture of cooperation, teamwork and mutual support.
“Teamwork must be an integral part of our work culture and daily practices.
“The success of any mission depends not on individual capabilities alone but on coordinated efforts, mutual trust, effective communication and a strong sense of shared commitment,” he said when officiating the Jelajah Wira Madani programme held in conjunction with the PGU Family Day 2026.
Meanwhile, Khalid said family support was an important source of emotional strength and motivation for PGU personnel, helping them carry out their duties effectively while maintaining high standards of readiness and discipline.
“Behind every duty carried out are the prayers, support and understanding of family members. Their unwavering support provides the emotional strength and motivation that drive our personnel towards excellence,” he said.
He said the programme was an important platform for human capital development, helping personnel balance the demands of their profession with their family well-being.
“May we return to our duties after this programme with renewed enthusiasm, stronger bonds and a greater determination to give our best to the force and the nation,” he said.
