Somali Police Force officers undertake training to enhance efficiency in
operations

Mogadishu, September 27 2022– A weeklong training to enhance efficiency in the

management of police assets has started in Mogadishu, Somalia, for officers of the
Somali Police Force (SPF).

Attended by ten SPF officers from the department of logistics, this capacity building
exercise is supported by the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS)
under its Police Reforms, Restructuring and Development programme.

The launch of the training was jointly presided over by Maj. Gen. Mohammed Dore of
the SPF and ATMIS Police Reforms, Restructuring and Development Coordinator,
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Maxwell Chikunguru.

ACP Chikunguru noted that improving accountability of police assets and reducing
loss and misuse was key to the overall efficiency of police operations.

“This course is mainly to impart the participants with the knowledge, relevant skills,
values and attitudes for them to effectively and efficiently manage SPF assets and
logistics,” said ACP Chikunguru, who represented the ATMIS Police Commissioner,
Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Augustine Magnus Kailie.

Cpt. Ahmed Tahilil said the mentoring and capacity building training that SPF
receives from ATMIS Police was an important value-addition in the provision of
policing services and building of expertise all across the country.

“This is one of many trainings we have planned with ATMIS Police. We have a
cordial relationship with ATMIS and will be working closely with them on various
other projects to help improve SPF efficiency and professionalism,” he said.

ATMIS Police has a mandate to support specialised training, advise and mentorship
and also provide operational support to the SPF including operational competence
and logistical support capabilities.

“The working relations between the Somali Police Force and ATMIS police has been
key to the professionalization of SPF, especially through capacity building and
trainings,” said Mukhtar Adam, one of the 10 trainee officers, who has served in the
SPF since 2015.
