In line with its core mandate, the Police Staff College Jos, has continued to train Police Officers and personnel of other security agencies on contemporary law enforcement practices to enable them tackle evolving security challenges in the country.
This time around, the elite Police training institution has trained and graduated 200 participants of the Advanced Detective Course (ADC) 79/2024 which include 162 Police Officer of the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and 38 of their counterparts in other security agencies.
This came in a press statement signed SP Duwon Amunedon, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Police Staff College Jos, and made available to newsmen in Jos, the Plateau State capital Friday.
While addressing the course graduates earlier today, the Commandant of Police Staff College Jos, AIG Adebowale Williams, psc(+),fdc noted that the occasion is not just a celebration of individual achievements, but also a testament to the collaborative spirit that exist among the various security agencies in the country which he said was healthy for safety and security of the nation.
Emphasizing on the theme of the course, ” Integrating Technology and Traditional Techniques in Modern Investigation”, the Commandant who stated that the theme is sine qua non in today’s rapidly evolving landscape of crime, tasked the course participants to blend their foundational skills of traditional policing with innovative capabilities provided by technology.
AIG Adebowale Williams hinted that during the course, the officers were taught how to harness the power of digital forensics, data analytics and advanced surveillance techniques, master the art of effective interviewing, crime scene management, and evidence collection.
This integration, according to the Commandant is crucial, as it equips the participants to tackle the multifaceted security challenges faced by law enforcement agencies today.
He further charged the officers to continue fostering the spirit of collaboration as they experienced at the course of training by working together, sharing information and supporting one another, as no security agency can succeed in fighting crime alone.
The Commandant also thanked the Inspector General of Police, IGP Olukayode Adeolu Egbetokun, ph.D, NPM and his management team for the successes celebrated was attributed to his uncommon commitment and support to training and capacity building of Police personnel and that of other security agencies.
