Posted by E.L.E.X on October 13 2020 under News

Inspector general of police Mohammed Adamu has set up a new Special Weapons and Tactics team to fill gaps arising from the scrapping of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

Members of the SWAT team will undergo a psychological and medical examination to ascertain their fitness and eligibility.

They are to begin training at different police tactical training institutions next week.

Personnel from police commands in the southeast and south-south will train at the Counter-Terrorism College, Nonwa-Tai, Rivers State.

Personnel from commands in the north at the Police Mobile Force Training College, Ende, Nasarawa State

Those from the southwest will train at the Police Mobile Force Training College, Ila-Orangun, Osun State.

Meanwhile, personnel of the defunct SARS are to report at the Force Headquarters Abuja for “debriefing, psychological and medical examination,” according to a statement released Tuesday by Force Spokesman Frank Mba.

“The officers are expected to undergo this process as a prelude to further training and reorientation before being redeployed into mainstream policing duties.”

A newly set-up Police Counselling and Support Unit will carry out a medical examination on the defunct SARS personnel on recall.

The unit will henceforth engage in psychological management, reorientation and training of officers deployed for tactical operations.

Its members include psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors, pastors, imams, public relations experts, civil society and human rights groups.

Domiciled in the Police’s medical department and coordinated by a medical officer.
