Mr Miller Dantawaye, Commissioner of Police, Kogi State, has charged newly deployed cadets on discipline, professionalism, and open to learning.
The CP gave the charge on Wednesday while addressing cadet officers, who are deployed to the state for a one month attachment.
Dantawaye urged them to embrace the opportunity to learn practical aspects of Policing beyond the classroom, by displaying importance of professionalism, discipline, and respect for human rights as they undergo practical training.
He further stated that attachment is a crucial phase in the Cadet scheme and advised them to use the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-life Policing situations.
“I advise you to learn from both your senior and junior colleagues, engage with the public responsibly, and uphold the values of integrity, service, and justice.
“I’m assuring of this command’s support, therefore, I encourage you to take full advantage of the mentorship provided by our experienced officers,” he said.
He also directed the Divisional Police Officers to ensure proper supervision and guidance of the cadets throughout the attachment period.
The CP said that Kogi command remains committed to nurturing the next generation of officers who would uphold the core values of the Force and contribute to the safety and security of the nation.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that cadets have been deployed across various Divisions and formation in the State, where they will gain hands-on experience in criminal investigation, Traffic Control and Management, Administration as well as Counter-duty.
