Liberia Law and Enforcement Agencies on Tuesday started a three-month training programme being organized by the Ghana Institute for Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) in Ghana.
The training course is to build the capacity of the sixth batch of 27 Officers to enable them serve their country in ensuring peace and order.
The programme, post-graduate diploma in Public Administration and certificate in public administration is funded by the Irish Aid of the United Nations.
GIMPA had already trained five batches of senior officers of Liberian Police and the current intake of 27 brings the total to 119.
Professor Samuel Bonsu, the Dean of Business School, who welcomed the officers to the country said, GIMPA prides itself in excellence and quality education.
He therefore charged the current intake to emulate their predecessors and compatriots who demonstrated professionalism in their field of work during their course of study.
He urged the officers to be focus and work assiduously ahead of the training and put into practice the knowledge and skills acquired to strengthen the peace and security of Liberia.
Mr Julius Atikpui, Acting Registrar of GIMPA, advised the Officers to be disciplined and adhere to the rules and regulations of the Institute, urging them to work hard to earn the certificates.
DCOP Randolph Dennis, Leader of the Liberia Police Officers, commended GIMPA and UN for organizing the programme.
He said he expected the participants to learn new ideas and build on the knowledge they already have to strengthen the security of Liberia.
The officers would undertake courses such as introduction to Human Resource, Introduction to Organizational Behaviour, Introduction to Budgeting and Financial Management, Strategic thinking Policy Formulation and Analysis, Principles of Management, Police Administration and Basic Statistics.
