The Yobe State Police Command has welcomed 280 newly trained Police Constables, comprising 245 General Duty personnel and 35 Specialist Cadre officers. These constables, all of Yobe State origin, successfully completed a 6-month training program at the Police Training College in Maiduguri.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Garba Ahmed, congratulated the constables on their achievement, emphasizing the importance of discipline, respect for human rights, and adherence to standard working procedures. He encouraged them to refrain from actions detrimental to the force and their personal careers.
The constables will be deployed to their local areas of origin, in line with the Community Policing strategy, and may be redeployed to other parts of the state as when due. To ensure their smooth transition, CP Ahmed tasked officers to provide strict mentorship and close supervision.
The command appeals to the public to maintain their cooperation in ensuring the state’s security and safety. With the addition of these new constables, the Yobe State Police Command is poised to strengthen its efforts in maintaining law and order in the state.
In a statement, SP Dungus Abdulkarim, MNIPR Police Public Relations Officer, expressed appreciation for the public’s continued cooperation and support.
