He said the induction course was to train the affected officers on their duties and responsibilities while carrying out protection services in their different postings.
Adejobi said the course with 53 CSOs and ADCs, as well as 18 Orderlies as participants, covered the Rules of Engagement and Standard Operational Procedures to apply in various simulated situations.
According him, seasoned officers with wealth of experiential knowledge, led by the Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Usman Baba coordinated the course.
He said the I-G called on the officers to be professional and committed in carrying out the specialised policing service.
The I-G also urged the officers and men to continuously develop themselves for efficiency.
In another development, the I-G has approved the deployment of four Commissioners of Police (CPs) to Commands and Departments.
Adejobi said the deployment was with immediate effect and part of efforts by the I-G to achieve maximum impact in community-based and strategic policing.

He called for support and cooperation from the public to enable the newly posted senior officers to function optimally. (NAN)
