Jigawa: Police train personnel in weapons handling
The police command in Jigawa says it has trained 27 divisional crime officers in tactical operation skills to protect lives and property.
The personnel were also exposed to weapon handling, escort duties, stop-and-search and crowd control skills.
The command’s spokesman, Lawan Shiisu, disclosed this in a statement.
Mr Shiisu said the eight-day training exercise was being conducted at the 35 Police Mobile Force, Dutse, to enhance the operational capabilities of the command.
“The 35 PMF launched an intensive local training programme on February 25, aimed at enhancing officers’ tactical skills in weapon handling, escort duties, and stop-and-search techniques with practical demonstrations to deepen their understanding.
“It also focuses on riot dispersal and crowd control techniques, as officers engaged in modern tactical drills,” he said.
He reiterated the commitment of the personnel to mastering the skills needed for effective law enforcement operations.
