The new students were also聽informed聽about聽their core mandate聽which is聽to prevent crime/corruption, to dictate it as early as possible, and to give a response, allowing for a corrupt-free environment that is driven by highly sensitised, intelligent, and efficient staff for optimal performance.

Students were also urged to avoid other vices such as聽cultism,聽mark sorting,聽impersonation, and many others.
