The Kailahun Police Division, led by the Local Unit Commander (LUC), Superintendent Thaimu B. Sesay, has conducted a community engagement and sensitisation campaign in Luawa Baoma Town as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen community policing and enhance public safety.
Addressing the gathering, Superintendent Sesay stressed the importance of collaboration between the police and the community in maintaining law and order. He underscored the role of community safety volunteers and encouraged residents to actively support security initiatives.
He further elaborated on the five powers of civilian arrest, clarifying how citizens can lawfully assist in crime prevention while adhering to legal boundaries.
The focus of the sensitisation Enagement was on the dangers of drug abuse, particularly the harmful effects of substances such as kush and tramadol. The LUC highlighted the social and health consequences of drug misuse and called on community members to work closely with law enforcement agencies to combat the growing threat.
And the discussions also centred on the roles and responsibilities of community members in promoting peace, vigilance, and security within the locality. The initiative reinforced the principle of community-led policing as a shared responsibility between citizens and security agencies.
In response, community leaders expressed appreciation for the police’s proactive efforts and commended their commitment to safeguarding lives and property. They pledged their continued support and cooperation in addressing security challenges.
Finally, the engagement concluded on a positive note, with a vote of thanks delivered by a community representative, reaffirming the mutual commitment to sustaining the partnership between the Kailahun Police Division and the people of Luawa Baoma.
The engagement brought together key stakeholders, including the Section Chief, Mr Mansaray Momoh Korgay; the Town Chief’s representative, Mr Musa Karimu; the Youth Chairman, Mr Kamor Abu Fomba; and other residents.
