By A delegation from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has arrived in Boston, USA, to participate in the 2024 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) annual conference.
The event, held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 19 to 22, features over 16,000 participants from around the world, offering training in key areas such as forensic investigations, public safety, and community-based policing.
The Nigerian delegation, led by DIG Abiodun Sylvester Alabi, represented Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, Ph.D., in addressing the officers at the event.
Accompanied by senior officers like AIG Jonathan Towuru, AIG Yekini Ayoku, and CP Henry Uche, Alabi encouraged the team to represent the NPF as ambassadors of professionalism.
With the largest African membership in the IACP, the NPF aims to leverage this platform to enhance its policing strategies and further improve law enforcement back home.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), in a statement Sunday morning, said the IACP conference provides an opportunity for global networking and learning from best practices in policing.
According to him, the NPF has continuously participated in international security conferences such as this, utilizing the knowledge and skills gained to advance policing standards across Nigeria.
He said the general assembly of the conference will be held on Monday, October 21, with further updates to follow.
