Thirty eight officers of the South Sudan National Police Service trained to address cattle raiding are to graduate from the Livestock Patrol Unit training centre in Malou, Bor County, in Jonglei State on Wednesday.
The officers underwent a rigorous two-month preparation that included physical training, English lessons, field craft, map reading, South Sudan law, memory training and observation, and criminal interrogation techniques.
South Sudan National Police Service, UNMISS, UNDP’s Community Security and Small Arms Control project, Kenya and the United States are involved in Jonglei’s Livestock Patrol Unit initiative.
