The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has made a significant mark at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) 2024 Annual Conference, held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Centre, USA.
A delegation of top police officials, led by Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Abiodun Sylvester Alabi, arrived to engage in the four-day event, which promises to enhance global law enforcement collaboration and knowledge exchange.
With over 16,000 participants from 174 countries, including law enforcement agencies and experts, the IACP conference offers a comprehensive platform for training in forensic investigations, crisis response, election security, public safety, and ots more.
The Nigerian delegation aims to capitalise on this unique learning opportunity, leveraging the event to sharpen policing strategies and promote professional development.
Notably, the Nigeria Police Force has the largest African membership in IACP, standing out among the 34,000 members worldwide.
This strong representation highlights the NPF’s commitment to elevating its policing standards by participating in international forums like the IACP and other global bodies, such as INTERPOL.
During the opening ceremony, IACP President John Letteney welcomed delegates, setting the stage for several days of dynamic discussions and workshops.
The Nigerian team was encouraged by DIG Alabi, who spoke on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, to be exemplary ambassadors of the Force throughout the event.
As the conference progresses, the NPF delegation is expected to foster vital connections and gain insights into cutting-edge policing techniques.
Further updates from the convention will be shared as the event unfolds, keeping an eye on the ways Nigeria’s law enforcement continues to adapt and grow on the global stage.
