Strengthening efforts to prevent and respond to cattle raiding in Jonglei State, South Sudan National Police Service (SSNPS) officers have completed a training course in Malou, Bor County.
Through various demonstrations and with the use of props entirely meant for training, troops from the Kenyan contingent of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan taught various skills to South Sudan’s National Police Livestock Patrol Unit.
Jonglei State Police Commissioner Maj. Gen. Moses Majok urged the fresh graduates to obey South Sudan’s laws in protecting civilian lives and properties.

Some 36 police officers who participated in the eight-week training course conducted by UN Police (UNPOL) officers will join the state’s livestock patrol unit.
US Department of Justice official Daniel Miller urged participants to obey training procedures. He pledged further support from the U.S. government in setting up livestock patrol units across South Sudan.

The unit was formed after consultations in all counties highlighted the need to specifically address cattle raiding in dealing with conflict in Jonglei. It is collaboration between the SSNPS, UNMISS, UN Development Programme (UNDP) and governments of Canada, Luxembourg and the United States.
UNDP Project Management Analyst for the Community Security and Arms Control Programme Anil Raj explained that today’s graduation ceremony marked the end of the first part of a three-phase training series. Under the current phase the US government contributed about 1.5 million dollars, which targeted 150 SSNPS officers.
The first phase of the nine-week course to combat crimes of cattle raids in Jongolei state is eventually expected to be taught to SSNPS from other cattle raiding states.
The Livestock Patrol Unit training consisted of six packages including criminal procedures and arrests, field tactics and weapon handling in tracking stolen animals via map reading and navigation.
