The Plateau State Command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has trained and passed out over 616 police constables, including 55 from the Regular Intake, at the Police Training School (PTS) in Jos. Out of the total number of constables, 504 are males, while 112 are females. Among the 616 constables who passed out at the Police Training School, the Plateau State Command has 283, while the remaining 333 constables are assigned to Taraba State.

Addressing the newly enlisted officers, the Reviewing Officer, who is the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, congratulated the police constables and urged them to observe professionalism and remember that they are the face of the law. Represented by the Commandant of Police Staff College, Jos, AIG Nwonyi Polycarp Emeka, PhD, the IGP said, “Today marks the culmination of months of rigorous training, discipline, and personal growth.” Egbetokun encouraged the newly enlisted officers to see policing as more than a career, but a calling that requires courage, integrity, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the principles of fairness and justice.

The need for police support was obvious and charged the new officers to go out and reciprocate the government’s good gesture

The IGP commended the trainers and instructors for their dedication and hard work in molding these young officers, preparing them to face the challenges ahead with confidence and professionalism. Earlier, the Representative of the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Hon. Justice Paul Galumje, JSC (Rtd), who is the Hon. Commissioner I, PSC, thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for graciously granting the request for manpower improvement and provision of needed logistical support. He noted that the need for police support was obvious and charged the new officers to go out and reciprocate the government’s good gesture.

The Chairman further charged them to strive and work in partnership with other security agencies to help eliminate or reduce the security challenges currently facing the nation. “Let me inform you that the commission will closely monitor your activities,” he said. “From today, I will not hesitate to sanction anyone who deviates from the time-tested established police rules of engagement. I want to congratulate you for successfully completing this training program and for being found worthy to wear this uniform. The sky is your limit, and I wish you all a rewarding and productive career in the Nigerian police.”
