The Togolese National Police has initiated its Open Door Days, a nationwide event aimed at strengthening trust between the police and the public. The launch in Kara was presided over by Commissioner Barnabo Yendoutin, Director of Police Sector No. 4 Kara, at the city's central commissariat. This event is part of the Ministry of Security and Protection's efforts to enhance public understanding of the police institution.
Over three days, visitors to the Open Door Days will have the opportunity to learn about the history and organizational structure of the National Police. They will visit technical stands and services to gain insight into the police's intervention methods and tools. Additionally, they will receive information on recruitment conditions and the police's green numbers, including 1014, a free service for reporting incidents.
The Open Door Days also offer accelerated services, including rapid legalization and issuance of national identity cards within 72 hours. Commissioner Barnabo Yendoutin emphasized the police's mission to protect the population, maintain order, and defend national integrity. He described the event as a privileged moment for the police to meet and interact with the population they serve.
The event in Kara was attended by various personalities, including politicians, administrators, military officials, traditional leaders, and civilians. The ceremony concluded with the cutting of a symbolic ribbon, marking the beginning of a guided tour of the exhibition stands. This event aims to promote proximity and understanding between the police and the public.
The Open Door Days are not limited to Kara, as similar events are being held in other sectors, including Tsévié, Kpalimé, Atakpamé, Sokodé, and Dapaong, as well as at the police headquarters. The events will culminate in sports activities, further fostering interaction between the police and the public.
