Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has cautioned constables-in-training in the 16 Police Colleges and Training Schools against misusing social media.<\/p>\n

The security agency advised them to imbibe and use the principles of public relations for improved service delivery and efficiency while discharging their duty.<\/p>\n

Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, gave a lecture at the Police College Ikeja in Lagos.<\/p>\n

He reaffirmed the need to adopt public relations to boost policing strategies of the Force to tackle crimes, criminality, and other forms of social vices in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The PRO, who lectured over 700 recruits on the directive of the Inspector-General Usman Baba, told them not to violate the NPF Social Media Policy.<\/p>\n

The provisions, which guide officers and men on the use and regulation of social media platforms, stipulate punishment for defaulters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe policy prohibits inappropriate use of social media platforms to promote indiscipline, unethical acts and unapproved activities of police personnel, either in official or personal capacity\u201d, Adejobi said.<\/p>\n

The training will be replicated in all Police Colleges and Training Shools in order to properly educate the recruits on the doctrines, ethics and values of policing.<\/p>\n

Adejobi charged them to be of good character and worthy ambassadors as they prepare for their passing out and induction.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added that the training they had received would increase their capacity and preparedness for a effective security management before, during and after the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n
