The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), in partnership with Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), Gujarat, India, has commenced an international capacity-building programme aimed at strengthening stress management and emotional well-being among law enforcement officers.
The 10-day training, held at the FRSC Academy, Udi, Enugu State, is targeting 1,000 personnel drawn from the FRSC and sister law enforcement and paramilitary agencies.
The programme is part of a strategic collaboration between the FRSC and RRU designed to enhance the professional capacity, mental resilience and emotional stability of personnel responsible for public safety.
Delivering the address of the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, mni, the Commandant of the FRSC Academy, Assistant Corps Marshal Winifred Uche Chukwurah, fsi, stressed the critical role of mental resilience and emotional well-being in improving the effectiveness of law enforcement personnel.
She said maintaining emotional balance was essential for officers who routinely operate in high-pressure and demanding environments.
The training is expected to equip participants with practical knowledge and strategies for managing stress, strengthening emotional resilience and maintaining professional effectiveness while carrying out their duties.
The FRSC said the initiative underscores its commitment to building a workforce that is resilient, emotionally balanced and professionally equipped to respond effectively to the challenges associated with law enforcement and public safety.
The Corps also highlighted the importance of international partnerships in strengthening institutional capacity, noting that its collaboration with RRU provides an opportunity for knowledge exchange and the adoption of best practices in personnel development.
The initiative further reinforces the need for law enforcement institutions to place greater emphasis on the psychological and emotional well-being of their personnel as part of broader efforts to improve service delivery and public safety.
With 1,000 officers expected to benefit from the 10-day programme, the FRSC said the training represents a significant investment in human capital and the development of a more effective and resilient law enforcement workforce.
