One hundred and twenty four junior officers of Enforcement
Intelligence Bureau (EIB) of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) have
for the past two months undergone training in intelligence to equip them
with modern skills in their operational duties.
The officers were drawn from various units of the Service in the
Greater Accra Region, and were put in batches, each of which spent three
days at the training.
The course content included listening, questioning, observation, report writing and communication skills.
Commissioner of Police Dr Peter Wiredu, Director General of the
Service, who spoke at the closing ceremony urged the course participants
to bring their acquired knowledge to bear on their duties and exhibit
more professionalism in their operations.
He reminded the officers that the future of the Service laid on their
shoulders hence the need to apply their knowledge to its benefit.
COP Dr Wiredu explained that there was the need for the course in
view of the recent immigration issues as the Ebola scare and border
security.
He advised the officers to see themselves as servants of the nation
and totally reflect what they had learned in their day-to-day duties,
stressing excellence as an attitude rather than a skill.
He added “we expect a pay back. Let’s see qualitative improvement in the way you perform.”
The GIS Director General expressed appreciation to the instructors
and the participants for applying themselves during the course.
The course is expected to be replicated in the nine other regions. GNA
