The Ogun State Police Command has commenced an advanced technology-driven training programme for 50 officers on Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), commonly known as drones, in partnership with the Societal Concerns Organization led by Amb. Oluwayomi Oluwapelumi David. Flagged off at the Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, the programme will build officers’ capacity in aerial surveillance, intelligence gathering, situational awareness and technology-assisted security operations.
Declaring the training open, Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, described it as a timely intervention that aligns with modern policing demands and strengthens the Command’s operational capacity. He said the initiative reinforces intelligence-led policing in tackling emerging security challenges through innovative tools that support effective monitoring, informed decision-making and swift operational response.
The leadership of Societal Concerns reaffirmed its commitment to supporting security institutions through technological innovation, capacity building and community-security partnerships, noting that the Ogun phase is a milestone with further engagements planned across the South-West. CP Ojajuni thanked the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, for approving the programme and commended Societal Concerns for strengthening national security through practical collaboration.
