Training For Security Officers
By Madiba Singhateh
The Gambia Police Force organised a one-week training course for junior and senior Inspectors at the Joint Officer's Mess in Kotu on 6 August 2007.
Mr. Famara Jammeh, the police adviser, in his speech said that this training is a manifestation of efforts in making sure that security personnel acquire and perform the necessary training and skills inorder to better serve the people of their beloved nation. He said that the training should be seen as a cardinal component of the development, efficiency and productivity of The Gambia police; that the objective of good policing can be realised through a healthy police - community relationship that will enable them to build safe and secure environment for the citizenry based on the principle of the rule of law. He urged for the existence of cordial relations between the community and the police.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Mr. Modou Gaye, in his opening statement noted that it is no secret that the law enforcement agencies, particularly the police, in recent past, have been and are constantly exercising professionalism and technical know how; that they are required to perform their duties from the station, motor highways (road traffic) and to the courts. Mr. Gaye said policing is becoming more increasingly a challenge which require them to acquire the requisite knowledge, skills and attitude as well as appearance which they can adopt inorder to properly confront and combat crime. He said the training is essential in improving the human resource base of any institution. The DIGP, therefore, urged all of them to seize this opportunity to learn new skills and approaches, as it would go a long way in improving their performance.
Mr. Gaye added that they have a lot of challenges in delivering their duties and appealed for the support of the public.
After the vote of thanks was given by Commissioner Burama Dibba, Mr. Gaye declared the training open and concluded calling the officers to obey the rules and the law and to have concern with human rights and preserve and protect property.
