The police chief said the present management team was working hard to improve the image of the police.
The Nigeria Police Force plans to establish a professional driving school to train its drivers, a Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG, has said.
Philemon Leha, the DIG Operations, disclosed this to newsmen on Thursday after declaring open a one-day capacity building workshop for police’ workshop and transport officers across the commands.
“We want to establish that driving school where our men can learn how to drive. You will agree with me that driving is a profession and that there are different types of driving. There is a way you drive a police vehicle, the way you drive a VIP, the way you drive a convoy. There is a way you do protective driving; there is a way you drive when you are under attack. So, we need to teach them these things; if we do not, they will not be able to drive well,” he said.
Mr. Leha charged the officers to maintain police vehicles and warned that anyone, especially drivers who willfully damaged vehicles in their care, would be sanctioned and made to bear the cost of repairs.
“That is the rule- if you willfully damage police vehicle, you will be sanctioned, you will be forced to bear the cost of the repair of that vehicle.’’
The DIG gave the assurance that with the limited resources available to it, the present management team was working hard to improve the image of the police.
“We have to do something so that Nigerians will know that we really mean to turn the police around and not to leave things lying low as they were,” he said.
He urged the participants to come out with ideas that would assist in achieving the objectives of the reforms in the force.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, could not declare the workshop open as planned following his summon to the Aso Rock Villa.
Two hundred and fifty officers were drawn from the 36 police commands, 12 zonal commands and the Abuja Command to attend the workshop.
