 The British Home Office, in collaboration with Clean Foundation and other development partners, are training personnel of the Niger Police Force on the benefit of crime prevention in the country. Four states, Edo, Bayelsa, Zamfara and Lagos, have been selected for the pilot program. The event is a two-day training workshop aimed at improving the capacity of personnel of the Niger Police to be proactive in fighting crime and other criminalities in the country. It is no longer news that crime in the country has soared and this upsurge in crime likely can be attributed to technological breakthrough which needed to be checked with the training and retraining of the Niger Police and other security agencies to meet the current realities. This is the submission of the Police at the Prevent Institutionalization Training Workshop for the Niger Police in Abuja. As the world remains dynamic, crime trends, crime patterns also continue to change. Training comes to the rescue because you need to train personnel of police departments whether in New York or Nigeria or whether in Scotland or Spain or anywhere. You need to continue to train them to be able to respond to these new trends. To have a professionally competent service-driven rule of law compliant and people-friendly police force. You can have any of these without adequate training. A police force that is well positioned for appropriate and adequate response to the dynamics of crime and criminality in our contemporary society. The core mandate of the DTD includes planning, formulating and implementing training policies, human resources and manpower development, managing quality controls, performance, focus training, coordination of training and retraining of police officers. We strive to equip our police officers with necessary knowledge, understanding skill and competencies, appropriate attitude and behaviour to discharge their duties. Prevent Community Policing Initiative actually has a target. The target is on young persons who are vulnerable to being recruited into organized crime groups. We tailor interventions that are specifically unique to them to be able to build their resilience, give them skills in order to keep them away. Our focus is on the people that have not been recruited. Let's see how we can salvage them, how we can build their resilience, give them skills and support them to be able to withstand this. Stakeholders and other development partners explain the objective of the workshop. Under this project, we've been able to develop the prevent modules, which we hope that Nigerian police force is going to adopt and use across their training institutions to build the capacity of officers on the prevent concept. And we hope that when the police force at the centre adopts this initiative, we have every reason to believe that five to ten years to come, there will be significant reduction in serious and organized crime in Nigeria. We're working to walk through the prevent methodology with key police, people from the NPF, in order to share information about what prevent is and how it can benefit the NPF. The prevent methodology here has been designed by the NPF within Nigeria. So it's Nigerian led with support and ideas and experience from elsewhere, but it's a different model here and it very much can't be lifted and put into Nigeria. It's a Nigerian context, it's very different.
