“Security threats come in different forms, and officers must be prepared to neutralise situations effectively, whether armed or unarmed. This training sharpens both physical reflexes and mental alertness, which are critical in our line of duty,” he stated.
He assured that the command would continue to prioritise capacity building to strengthen officers’ ability to protect lives and property.
Participants were awarded certificates in recognition of their commitment to professional excellence, reinforcing the NSCDC’s focus on discipline and operational efficiency.
