The police in conjunction with Bastion Chambers, a law firm,
have begun a two-day training of its 80 personnel on prosecution
and investigation to ensure effective service delivery.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris who declared
the training open on Monday, said the exercise would enhance the
performances of police prosecutors and investigators in legal
practices.
Idris was represented by Mr. Emmanuel Inyang, the Deputy
Inspector-General of Police in charge of training at the force
headquarters.
He charged the participants in the programme tagged “Train the
Trainers,” to transfer the knowledge they would acquire, to other
officers in their units.
“You are all expected to transfer the knowledge acquired from
this workshop to other officers under you,” he said.
He said that the force had worked assiduously to execute its
cardinal objectives under Section 4 of the Police Act in order to
change the outlook of the force.
“We also believe that training and development are required to
enable staff to work toward taking the organisation to its expected
destination,” he said.
Idris said that policemen like their counterparts in other
agencies required knowledge, attitudinal change and competence to
perform optimally.
He said that training in the force should be based on the
fundamental values of democracy, rule of law and protection of
human rights.
The inspector-general added that the democratic tenets also
formed the objectives of the force.
Mr. Mohhamed Nakordi, a representative of Bastion Chambers, said
that the training was aimed at addressing the challenges faced by
the police in criminal prosecution.
Nakordi said that the training was meant for 40 police
prosecutors and 40 investigators.
“We are training these officers so that they can as well train
others under them in their various commands and units,” he
said.
He said that the police lost most of their cases in courts,
because of inadequate training on legal skills, adding that the
training would reduce the number of lost cases.
