The Community Relations Department (CRD) of the Kissy Division held an impactful outreach program at Methodist Boys’ High School (MBHS), Thunder Hill, in the East End of Freetown. The event engaged over 1,000 students from Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS), addressing critical issues including indiscipline, lawlessness, and sexual and gender-based violence.
Moderated by Chief Inspector Josephine Kamara, the session featured informative presentations from police personnel of the Kissy Division. The officers emphasized the importance of adhering to the law and encouraged students to take advantage of the government’s Free Quality Education initiative. Chief Inspector Kamara reminded students of their responsibility to “conduct themselves responsibly and within the law,” stressing that school-age children are also subject to legal consequences for unlawful actions.
ASP Allieu Jalloh, Operations Officer of the Kissy Division, highlighted the significance of the event and the positive legacy of Methodist Boys’ High School, stating, “The institution has had a substantial impact on the socio-economic, cultural, and political landscape of Sierra Leone.”
School principals expressed appreciation for the police initiative, describing the visit as “timely.” They pledged to work closely with the Kissy Police to address disciplinary issues and reinforce a culture of discipline within the school.
This outreach program marks a proactive step in fostering responsible behavior and strengthening collaboration between educational institutions and law enforcement in Sierra Leone.
