10,000 constables graduate from police training colleges

After months of physical and mental training, 10,000 constables are set to graduate from the four different police colleges and 12 training schools across the country.

The new recruits are now equipped with the necessary orientation to effectively address the complex security challenges confronting the nation.

According to a statement signed on Thursday, January 23, 2025 by the Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, the latest addition will be deployed immediately after passing out, to boost crime fighting capacity and enhance visibility policing.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has expressed optimism that the development will strengthen the existing internal security architecture.

“This milestone event is a testament to the ongoing commitment of the Force to enhance its personnel strength and capacity, ensuring the delivery of effective policing services to the Nigerian populace,” Adejobi said.

He highlighted that the scheduled passing out ceremony at four different Police Colleges and 12 Training Schools, will be presided over by the IGP, who is the reviewing officer.

Adejobi added: “The newly trained constables have undergone rigorous physical and mental training, now being equipped with the necessary orientation to effectively address the complex security challenges facing our nation, while adhering to the principles of the law.

“The IGP expresses confidence that these new officers will demonstrate exceptional professionalism, integrity, and dedication to service, thereby upholding the honour and prestige of the Police Force.

“With the graduation of these new constables, the Force anticipates improved community engagement, response to crime, and overall public safety.

“Following their graduation, the constables will be deployed to various state commands, contributing to local policing efforts and community safety measures.

“This influx of new personnel is expected to strengthen existing police units and foster better relations between the police and the communities they serve.”
