The acting Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has directed that a comprehensive training and curriculum for police colleges and training schools, with emphasis on attitudinal and behavioural change for police officers, be designed.
This, he said, was to enhance the professionalism, effectiveness and public trust in police officers.
A statement by the Force spokesperson, Adejobi Muyiwa, on Friday said the training would include scenarios and simulations that replicate real-life situations to allow officers to practice critical decision-making skills while considering the potential impact on community relations.
The statement read, “The IG expressed his commitment to enhancing the professionalism, effectiveness and public trust in our law enforcement personnel. In line with this commitment, he has hereby set in motion machinery for the development of a comprehensive training program and curriculum for colleges and training schools that will place increased emphasis on attitudinal and behavioral changes, alongside physical and technical fitness.
