Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Evelyn Edem A. Agbitor from the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra, Ghana, has paid a courtesy visit to Sierra Leone’s Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Sahr Yomba Senesi, at the Senior Police Officers’ Mess in Kingtom.
The visit centered on preparations for a joint policing course designed to enhance collaboration among Sierra Leone’s security forces. The training, scheduled for September 8–19, 2025, in Freetown, will focus on clarifying the roles and responsibilities of personnel across security institutions, fostering teamwork, and strengthening conflict management skills.
Welcoming ACP Agbitor, DIG Senesi commended the initiative, describing it as vital for deepening bonds among the country’s security forces.
He noted that the Sierra Leone Police, the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces, and other agencies have long worked together to maintain peace and stability, adding that the forthcoming program would further consolidate that cooperation.
“Collaboration between the Police, Military, Immigration Service, Fire Force, Correctional Service, and other agencies has already yielded positive results,” Senesi said. “This training will build on that foundation and strengthen joint operations.”
In her remarks, ACP Agbitor praised the existing cooperation among Sierra Leone’s security institutions but emphasized that the KAIPTC training would bring additional value. She explained that the course will be rolled out nationwide and will equip participants with skills to work in unity and manage inter-agency conflict constructively.
Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Andrew M. Kamara also expressed enthusiasm for the program, assuring that police officers will actively engage in the sessions. He pledged the Sierra Leone Police’s full support, describing the training as an investment in the professionalism and effectiveness of the country’s security sector.
