Somali Police Officers Commence Training in Nation

Share

The African Union Mission for Somalia (AMISOM) has today inaugurated a Police Training Initiative in Kenya in support of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia. 192 Junior and Mid-Level Management Officers of the Somali Police Force will undergo refresher training by AMISOM police mentors at the Kenya Wildlife Training School in Manyani, a facility made available by the Kenyan Government. AMISOM is mandated to train, mentor, monitor and advise the Somali Police Force to build it into a credible police force adhering to international standards. AMISOM instructors will offer lessons in Community Policing, Human Rights, Logistics and Management to the Somali Police Officers. The AMISOM course is designed to enhance their professionalism and skills. “I have no doubts in my mind that the AMISOM Police Trainers have the professional competence to deliver on our mandate in Somalia.” said Ambassador Diarra, Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for Somalia (SRCC). Ambassador Diarra extends his appreciation and that of the African Union to the Government of Kenya for making available its Wildlife Training School to be used by AMISOM to train Somali Police Officers. He further extends his appreciation to the Italian Government for funding this programme.
