The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has issued a directive for immediate public relations, human relations, and communication training for 10,000 police recruits. This move is aimed at enhancing the communication and interpersonal skills of the new recruits, ensuring they are better equipped to interact with the public and handle various situations effectively.
This training is part of a broader effort to improve the professionalism and community engagement of the Nigerian Police Force. The recruits will undergo comprehensive training sessions designed to foster better public relations, improve communication skills, and enhance their ability to work harmoniously with the community.
The training is seen as a significant step in reforming the police force and aligning it with modern policing standards that emphasize community policing and public trust. By focusing on these critical areas, the police force aims to build stronger relationships with the public and improve overall policing outcomes.
