He assured the Police Chief of his company readiness to continue with the strategic capacity building support it has been giving to the security agency.
His words: “It will be recalled that Area Traffic Officers serving in the Lagos State Police Command were the first set of paramilitary personnel that were trained on emotional intelligence skills in the free training programes GTP has initiated for government institutions personnel that have high in-person contact with the populace.
“Under your able leadership, we wish to continue this strategic skill transfer to men and officers of your command and we know that you always want the best trainings for your officers necessary to build a formidable force against crime and yield excellent results.”
