According to the Nigeria Police Force, the course is designed to strengthen instructional capacity, sharpen tactical competence and enhance the operational preparedness of the Force’s 84 PMF squadrons.
The ceremony was attended by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Operations, DIG Umar Shehu Nadada; Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Police Mobile Force, AIG Alonyenu Idu; Commandant of the PMF Training College, Ende-Hills, DCP Sunday Audu Peter; Nasarawa State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Commandant Brah Samson Umoru; and commandants of other PMF training colleges.

Addressing the participants, IGP Disu described the programme as a strategic intervention in the operational future of the Police Mobile Force.
He noted that the evolving security environment requires continuous learning, adaptation, discipline and tactical competence, urging the trainers to serve as force multipliers by ensuring that knowledge acquired during the course is effectively transferred to personnel in their respective formations.
The IGP stressed that a modern PMF must combine tactical capability with intelligence, precision, discipline, professionalism and respect for the law.

The Nigeria Police Force reaffirmed its commitment to continuous professional training, modernisation, personnel welfare and the provision of necessary equipment and platforms to improve operational effectiveness.
