Newly deployed individual police officers commence work in Somalia

Mogadishu, 23 July 2021 – Twenty-three newly deployed Individual Police Officers,
IPOs, have embarked on a year of service under the African Union Mission in
Somalia, AMISOM, to support efforts to build the capacity of their Somali Police
counterparts.

The AMISOM Police Commissioner, Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP),

Augustine Magnus Kailie, urged the police officers to support the Somali Police to
secure the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections, which he said is a
priority for the AU Police.

The AMISOM Police component is a member of the National Election Security Task
Force, the highest security agency tasked to secure the elections, by supporting the
Somali Police Force.

While meeting the police officers on Friday, AIGP Kailie said, “As part of our mandate
implementation, we are to support the Somali Police during the elections, and this is
one of the most important tasks at hand.”

The AMISOM police component deploys IPOs from Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra
Leone, Kenya, and Zambia. The IPOs train, mentor, and advise the Somali Police
Force on policing duties that include human rights observation, crime prevention
strategies, community policing, search procedures and investigations.

During a meeting, AIGP Kailie also urged the AMISOM police officers to exercise
impartiality, professionalism, respect diversity, and the local community’s cultures
while discharging their duties.

“We have a mandate to support the Somali Police Force. So we expect high
professional standards from you people,” he said,” AIGP Kailie added.

In attendance were the AMISOM Police Operations Coordinator, DCP Daniel Ali
Gwambal, AMISOM Police Training and Development Coordinator, ACP Koffi
Avemenku, AMISOM Police Deputy Reform Restructuring and Development
Coordinator, SSP Alex Munyao Ndili, and AMISOM Police Elections Advisor, ACP
Anthony Placid. ENDS
