Training was a cornerstone of the BSA Police, and the dedicated Training Branch oversaw all instruction at the two principal depots, Morris and Tomlinson. Every recruit passed through one of these establishments on a structured six‑month course that combined discipline, law, fieldcraft, and practical policing skills; for those at Morris Depot, this foundation was followed by an additional phase at the Driving School, one at Cranborne Barracks and another in Bulawayo, ensuring that junior ranks entered service fully prepared for the operational demands of the force.
