Policy development is critical - Shikongo
‘Law enforcement landscape ever-evolving’
Shikongo said the training will not only empower the police staff with knowledge, but is critical to the effectiveness of the force.
Namibian Police chief Joseph Shikongo last week emphasised the importance of policy development within the force, saying the policies should reflect its best practices.
He was speaking during the official opening of a five-day policy development training course for 21 police staff, facilitated by the Namibian Institute of Public Administration and Management (Nipam). "The landscape of law enforcement is ever-evolving. As we navigate through a complex and dynamic world, it is imperative that our policies reflect the most current best practices and address the emerging challenges we face. This training represents a significant step towards that goal. It is an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills that allow us to develop and refine policies that not only guide our operations, but also fortify our resolve to serve with integrity, fairness and efficiency," he said.
The training was attended by seven regional commanders, seven heads of divisions, four chief inspectors, one senior inspector, one inspector and the police chaplain, Chief Inspector Hafeni Mwandingange.
Shikongo said the training will not only empower the police staff with knowledge, but is critical to the effectiveness of the force.
Forward-thinking
Nipam acting executive director Rebekka Kakololo said the training is a reflection of a forward-thinking approach by the police force.
"It is truly commendable, especially in today's complex and dynamic society. I appreciate the trust that the police have put in our institution, which you have made your partner in capacity-building," she said.
The training will focus on understanding policy development, the policy development process, practical application and case studies.
