The Inspector General of Police, Adamu, has announced the new name for FSARS. The announcement came in a statement signed by the Force Spokesperson, Frank Mba. The new name for SARS is Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT)
The statement reads: “The officers are expected to undergo this process as a prelude to further training and reorientation before being redeployed into mainstream policing duties.
“The medical examination will be carried out by the newly setup Police Counselling and Support Unit (PCSU), a Unit, which henceforth shall engage in psychological management, reorientation and training of officers of the Force deployed for tactical operations and other duties.
“The Unit, which is domiciled with the Force Medical Department and coordinated by the Force Medical Officer, has its membership drawn from amongst psychiatrists, psychologists, medics, pastors and imams, Public Relations practitioners, Civil Society and other Human Rights groups with relevant qualifications and expertise.
“Meanwhile the IGP has set up a new Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team that will fill the gaps arising from the dissolution of the defunct SARS.”
