The Family Support Unit (FSU) of the Sierra Leone Police, in partnership with UNICEF, has launched an intensive four-day training program for 40 newly transferred officers to enhance their responsiveness to cases of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and juvenile justice.
The program, which began on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, is being conducted simultaneously at the Sierra Leone Teachers’ Union Hall in Makeni and the Pastoral Center on New Gerihun Road in Bo. Officers from all regions, including North East, North West, East, Southern, and Western, were selected to participate.
