Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Mr. Leeco has encouraged the AFL personnel to expand their computer literacy and information technology education.<\/p>\n

A Defense Ministry official, Mr. Spencer G.N. Leeco, has admonished members of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) and other law enforcement personnel to use acquired computer knowledge to improve productivity and efficiency at work.<\/p>\n

Mr. Leeco cautioned the officers on August 8, 2024, when he represented Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Geraldine George-Johnson (Rtd), at the official closing ceremony of the Africa International Institute of Science and Technology University College.<\/p>\n

Mr. Leeco stated that the institution has played its part in molding the minds of the officers for their personal growth and development and for nation-building.<\/p>\n

However, he noted that the burden is now on the officers, and how they use the training matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can either use it to improve productivity and efficiency at work, or you can use unproductive applications such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and ruin [the] government\u2019s precious time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In an era where almost everything people do is driven by profits, Leeco noted that it is heartwarming to see others being motivated by selflessness and generosity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is within this vein that I would like to commend the management team at the Africa International Institute of Science and Technology for providing a month of tuition-free training in Basic Computer Literacy to personnel of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) and other law enforcement agencies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While commending the officers for this first big step, he said the computer world is vast, encouraging the trainees to expand their computer literacy and information technology education.<\/p>\n

In this age of globalization, Mr. Leeco stated that technology\u2019s important role in modern security cannot be overemphasized.<\/p>\n

He expressed hope that the Liberian Government and its bilateral partners will continue to provide security personnel with more training opportunities and the logistical support needed to be on course with other nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe abundance of digital technology has contributed substantially and led to the advancement of complex systems of security that can help to detect and deter threats in real time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may interest you to note that these systems have transformed the role of security officers from passive observers to proactive responders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing Security RI, a Rhode Island-based company, Mr. Leeco said surveillance security cameras, for example, have become an omnipresent feature of modern security systems.<\/p>\n

He said these cameras could capture high-quality footage in real-time, allowing security officers to monitor and respond to potential security threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of you may have heard about artificial intelligence. But many of us have not. This is another advancement in technology which I hope that personnel in the security sector can benefit from in the not-too-distant future,\u201d said Mr. Leeco.<\/p>\n

He continued that Artificial Intelligence (AI), and machine learning, (ML), have enabled security systems to study and adjust to changing threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cFacial recognition technology, for instance, can identify individuals in real-time and alert security officers of potential security threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, drones have also become an ever more accepted tool in the security world. These unmanned aerial vehicles can be used to monitor large areas, provide real-time surveillance, and respond to security threats.\u201d<\/p>\n
