The Imo State Police Command has organized a one-day training focusing on the identification, handling, and disposal of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The training which was held Friday, was led by CSP M.A. Ogini, Officer in Charge of the Anti-Bomb Squad, and was aimed at improving officers’ ability to detect and neutralize IED threats.
Officers from all divisions and area commands across the state participated in the session, and they would subsequently hold follow-up training pogrammes within their units to share and reinforce the knowledge gained.
