More than 40 Liberian National Police (LNP) officers received their diploma in May after graduating from a skills development course at the National Police Training Academy (NPTA) in Paynesville. The two-week course was a welcome opportunity for the selected participants to acquire knowledge in Management and Leadership, Report Writing, and computer programmes such as Microsoft Word and Excel.

The LNP police officers came from several departments, including Women and Children Protection Section (WACPS), Gender Unit and from NPTA. The participants were in four groups in order to make closer linkages among officers deployed in headquarters and in different Zones and Depots in Monrovia. This will enhance closer cooperation among the units. 

The training was provided by UNMIL IMTC.
