Today, November 4, at the Security and Intelligence Service took place the ceremony, where newly employed officers and students of the National Institute of Intelligence and Security “Bogdan, the Founder of Moldova” (NIIS) took the Oath of allegiance to Motherland.
As an exception caused by restrictions of the pandemic crisis, the event took place without the families and relatives of the young officers, but only in the presence of SIS leadership, the command staff, and teaching staff.
Alexandr ESAULENCO, the SIS Director, congratulated the young officers, who were picked in the process of rigorous selection, with the choice they made when they decided to become part of the Security and Intelligence Service. He reminded officers that this is a lifetime commitment that imposes many responsibilities and a perfect image. “You must be aware that on your shoulders lies the commitment to offer society the guarantee of legality, fairness and impartiality, which can not exist without a solid culture, high professional ethics and respect for institutional values and traditions. You have the obligation to participate in fulfilling the fundamental mission of ensuring national security and defending constitutional values”, mentioned the SIS Director.
Moreover, Alexandr ESAULENCO expressed gratitude to the teaching staff for the dedication, responsibility and mastery they prove during the training courses, that help young people to become intelligence officers with insight, anticipation skills and strong moral and professional strength.
The new class of officers will take a professional training course at the National Institute of Intelligence and Security. They will have the opportunity to acquire a new set of skills, different from the one they had before. In addition to extensive knowledge, they will also gain the defining qualities of the intelligence officer, such as: honesty, dignity, fairness, integrity and team spirit.
