Constable Carmen Tausili is Samoa Police, Prisons and Corrections Services’ representative for the New
Zealand Mutual Assistance Programme Musician course, provided by the New Zealand Army’s Band
School of Music.
It is noted the Musician’s Course will run for approximately ten months, and Carmen hopes to be able to
fulfil the opportunity offered to him. Commissioner Auapa’au Logoitino Filipo acknowledged the NZ
Army for the opportunity to have our band members be trained and craft their talents and skills in
service for SPPCS and Samoa.
Auapa’au also conveyed gratitude that Samoa Police, “Prisons and Corrections Services has been able to
again have this chance since the last time an SPPCS member had gone for this course, notably due to
the global pandemic (COVID-19)”. In addition to his remarks, Commissioner “encouraged the nominated
recipient to use the opportunity wisely and effectively. Auapaau also reiterated he will be SPPCS’
Ambassador to New Zealand”.
The 35-year-old Constable has worked with SPPCS under the Band Unit for 10 years. Constable Carmen
says he is excited to go and looks forward to learning and gaining more knowledge in hopes; upon
return, he will share his experience and gained knowledge to help improve and enhance his band
member’s skills to perform their services.
Commissioner Auapa’au and DC Papali’i on behalf of SPPCS wished Carmen the best on his journey.
