The three-day workshop, themed “Strategic Police Conduct Through Emotional Intelligence, Human Relations, Communication Skills, and Attitudinal Change,” was aimed at equipping officers with modern policing competencies required to effectively address contemporary security challenges.
CP Orutugu gave the commendation while speaking at the closing session of the workshop on Thursday.
He expressed satisfaction with the enthusiasm, discipline, and high level of professional engagement demonstrated by officers who participated in the programme.
According to the Commissioner, the training aligns squarely with the vision of the Inspector-General of Police to reposition the Nigeria Police Force through continuous capacity development, attitudinal change, and improved community-focused service delivery.
During the workshop, CP Orutugu interacted extensively with participating officers, assessed the quality of lecture delivery, and evaluated the level of knowledge assimilation and practical understanding displayed by the trainees.
