A warm AKWAABA to participants from Benin, Gabon, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo joining us this week for the Protective Security Operations Course.

The RTC just concluded a successful practical exercise with the U.S. Diplomatic Security instructor team. Participants learned various walking formations in different environments to help them prepare adequately for real-world scenarios. Enjoy some photos from today’s session.

Happy New Month!

Here are 3 tips law enforcement can consider during a time of crisis: •Plan incident response •Plan crisis communications •Collaborate with stakeholders and share information

It’s important to create an atmosphere of mutual understanding and dialogue between the media and police in order to ensure collaboration between the two parties during election periods.

Electoral periods in any country can be contentious, tense and with a higher probability for conflict than other times. Law enforcement assistance is needed to keep voters and election officials safe. Cooperation is essential.

Let us throwback to the Leadership for Women in the Criminal Justice Sector course led by the US- Secret Service and the FBI last January. Have you attended a Leadership course at the RTC? Share your training experience with us in the comment section!

The course has taught me to be empathetic towards victims of human trafficking and to move away from using victim-blaming questions when interviewing sexually abused children and victims of human trafficking. I will use the training materials I received to teach my colleagues.
