DCOP/Mr. Peter Baba Atianak, Deputy Eastern Regional Police Commander reminded the officers about the need for collaboration between officers of the various security agencies, as demonstrated at the training centre.
The officer who officially closed the ceremony, DCOI/ Madam Prudence Aku Sosuh, Eastern Regional Immigration Commander also encouraged the trainees to play their role with pride, professionalism, integrity and to remember to work on themselves each day. “Everyday minus one; plus one” they should keep updating themselves with new threats and emerging trends in Transnational Organized Crime, she said.
