In order to inject new ideas in handling weapons to police officers and men in Lagos State Police Command, the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has organised arms and combat training for 110 Divisional Police Officers and policemen in Lagos State.
The training, which will last for another one month, commenced in April, 2021 and has a manual designed to inject new ideas into the officers and men of the command on weapons handling, musketry, Baton and Rifle Exercise (BARE), combat operations, individual manoeuvre and range practice.
Disclosing this in a statement on Tuesday, May 18, 2021, the police spokesman in the command, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said that Odumosu had promised to regularly embark on training and retraining of officers and men of the command to bring out the best in them, with a view to having better security system in the State.
The PPRO said that the police boss revealed that “a similar training is being carried out simultaneously for the rank and file cadre of the command, in batches, in order to be in tune with the re-designed standard operating procedure of the Nigeria Police Force.”
The police commissioner admonished officers and men in the command to embrace the initiative and be committed to the new policing agenda of the Inspector-General of Police, so as to maintain good service delivery in the state.
He also promised to pull all available resources together for the betterment of officers and men and the entire workforce of the command.
