The Aflao Sector Command of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has ended a five-day facilitators' training workshop for 15 officers on Community Engagement and Policing (CEP).
It is to promote collaboration between members of the border communities and personnel of the GIS.
Jointly organised by the Public Affairs Department of the Aflao Sector Command in collaboration with the International Centre for Safe Migration (ICSM), the programme was aimed at training the selected officers on CEP who would also train other staff of GIS at the Aflao Sector Command.
Speaking at the closing ceremony at Aflao in the Ketu-South Municipality (KSM) of the Volta Region yesterday, the Aflao Sector Commander (ASC) of the GIS, Assistant Commissioner of Immigration (ACI) Mr Frederick Baah Doudu, said the community engagement and policing model was a proactive human-centred and participatory security approach, designed by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) to help security services to build trust and support from the members of border communities in the discharge of their duties.
