The Commissioner of Police, Bayelsa State Command, Mr Austin Iwar, says the command will embark on extensive training and development programmes for officers and men of the command.
He made the promise at the Police Officers’ Mess in Yenagoa, the state capital, during his maiden address to the command, with the decoration of newly promoted 36 inspectors to the rank of assistant superintendent of police.
Iwar said the training was aimed at broadening and sharpening their (personnel) skills for effective discharge of their duties.
The CP said, “Capacity building for personnel in the Nigeria Police Force is an essential tool for improved service delivery. Therefore, the police command will embark on extensive training and development programmes for officers of the command.
“This is aimed at broadening and sharpening their skills for improved performance of their duties, which will in turn improve their service delivery.”
Iwar said that the best policing practices emphasised problem solving approaches, noting that social problems when left unsolved might eventually result in security problems.
He said, “Therefore, we shall build the capacity of personnel to have the ability to solve problems in partnership with relevant stakeholders.
“We will always proffer solutions to identified problems of our communities applying appropriate models.
“Incidentally, as a sign of better days to come under my leadership, we are also gathered here to celebrate and formally decorate 36 inspectors who were newly promoted to the enviable rank of assistant superintendent of police.”
He added, “Their elevation is strategic as they have moved from the junior cadre to the senior cadre of the Nigeria Police. While I congratulate them, it is important to remind them that the new rank comes with greater responsibility. The force demands much more from you.
“Therefore, you must exhibit utmost discipline, resourcefulness, diligence and professionalism in every role assigned to you. You must be acquainted with relevant laws, regulations, and attributes of a police officer, force orders and instructions.”
