Okoye, who was represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Haliru Gwandu, said, “We have zero tolerance for corruption and incivility in this command. Anybody who engages in them and other acts capable of tarnishing the image of the force is on his own and would be punished accordingly.
“You are advised to concentrate and grab the knowledge needed for efficiency and ideological perspectives for promoting modern policing in Nigeria in line with the philosophy of the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar.”
The one-week training was said to have been organised to enhance efficiency and good service delivery in the state.
Adejobi said the training, which started on Monday, would end on Friday, adding that the command planned to train over 5,000 personnel on rotational basis.
He said the topics at the workshop included team building, coping with job transfer, attitude and behavioural management, result-oriented communication, leadership styles and principles of public relations.
Adejobi added, “The command has made necessary plans to organise more than 20 training workshops for its officers and men in 2014 to promote effectiveness and efficiency in policing Ogun State in particular and Nigeria in general.”
