The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has said that establishment of the National Institute of Police Studies has been approved.
The police boss made this known while speaking at the launch of a book titled “Introduction to Law Enforcement: A Training Guide for the Nigeria Police Force” by Deputy Inspector General of Police Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi (retd.), Tuesday in Abuja.
He said the institute would provide strategic manpower development programmes for the police and other law enforcement officers of the rank of deputy commissioners of police and or its equivalent in other security agencies.
According to him, “It would work with academic partners, security agencies, international police organisations and the public to produce and commission research on priority areas for policing and public safety.
“The ultimate goal of all these efforts is to produce a pool of highly trained police personnel at both junior and strategic levels who will have the intellectual capacity and critical reasoning ability to dissect and respond to current crime trends and future dynamics of security threats in the most professionally efficient manner.”
He described the book that was launched as an “intellectual effort by a cerebral officer who draws from his rich and expansive professional experience to leave a lasting legacy of human development for his primary constituency, the Nigeria Police.”
