\u201cThe Bowier Trust Foundation Community Partnership Activities is in support to build a bridge between public society and the Liberian National Police!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>

Active involvement of LNP Officers as merely indigenous Liberians plays a key role. Police Officers interact, discuss, teach, monitor, mentor and provide public safety relevant support, hence the positive effect is twofold. The projects general aim is in line with humanity and therefore people- and in particularly students-cantered. The Police Officers got a broader understanding of what matters to the children and their parents and families. In turn, the children and parents involved get a much better understanding of the Police and how Police is working. This may have been attributable factors to radiate positive trust building effects between School and Police into the community structures, such as County Security Councils, Religion, Community- and Township Leader and City Mayors, the Youth, Women-Organisations, Parents-Teacher Association, Motorcyclists, Business, Medias etc.<\/p>

As an additional effect, the substance is automatically created for pro-active planning and prevention, instead of mainly re-active activity in managing problems.<\/p>

The School Building project at the SD Cooper Road Community, Immanuel Christian Academy and Immanuel Church is clearly spearheading further and future relevant activities to improve the relationship between ordinary members of the local society and the Police in the said area.<\/p>

The BT Foundation\u2019s commitment is in full support of ongoing endeavours of the Liberia National Police to implement the ratified Community Police Policy Strategy by means of: Planning, coordination, organization, analyses, evaluation and access to international expertise in the field of contemporary Community Policing.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tarnue Kerkula<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tarnue Kerkula comes with humility and is a willing to serves the Public in his capacity as a Liberia National Police (LNP) Officer.<\/p>\n

His Work with in the law enforcement sector cannot only being seen visible but is a pragmatism among Liberians struggling to build a resilient security sector.<\/p>\n

From his interaction in community base initiatives, most especially promoting community policing in hotspot across Liberia, Kerkula was earmarked as a dedicated personality by cross sections of Bowier Trust Foundation Staffs and have accepted this honor with proud to do more to public service.<\/p>\n

Kerkula currently serves as General Commander of the Zone Eight Depot In Paynesville.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>


<\/p>\n

Kerkula\u2019s Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cI am a son of Liberia and hailed from Lofa County, Kolahun District, a devoted Christian who is married. I serve as Chief Superintendent for the past eight years and I am a student of the University of Liberia studying Public Administration Major and Management Minor\u201d<\/p>\n

I am among the first class graduates of community policing of the Liberia National Police and a servant of the community which he serves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tarnue Relationship and Experience with Community<\/strong><\/p>\n

His relationship with community members currently serves as a pathway for other law enforcers to built a better relationship with their communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take people within my community to be my bosses because it is my pleasure to serve people.<\/p>\n

As a resident of Freedom-Land Community in Paynesville City, I have always find myself in services, ranging from school, church, private security and now the Liberian National Police force in serving my nation\u201d<\/p>\n

As a servant, he feel disheartening when people are abuse in all forms and manner due to vulnerability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it is my duty to serve my nation, especially where people are left vulnerable and abuse and they need assistance. I feel that if indeed I just sit at the bench and watch, I will have no input.<\/p>\n

I feel that the only way to give relieve to my citizens is to form myself part of the service agency, and this agency is the Liberia National Police which I see as the best because they interact with the public on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a passionate worker and once member of the boy-scout, he feel that the police will make it easily for him to work in the community, saying I am very proud because I am not a Commander that sits in office and give command, but I am always on the field.\u201d<\/p>


<\/p>\n

Impact of LNP Service <\/strong><\/h3>\n

A 15 years of service to the Liberia Police is quite significant but Tarnue feels he still have more to offer his country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am in my 15 years of service to the LNP and I have made significant difference.<\/p>\n

When I joined the Liberia National Police, Paynesville was the most high crime breeding area in Montserrado\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2004, we had a group of criminals call \u2018Asakaba\u2019 in the Redlight area located in Paynesville who frustrated people, take away people materials and beat them and sometimes abuse them. But after I found myself in the position to rescue, I ensure that they were remove from that area\u201d. The criminals used a gospel song commonly sang in Liberiann churches for praise and worship called \u201cLift him up higher, lift Jesus up higher\u201d to implement their deeds.<\/p>\n

They sang as they attack someone passing through a route that they were stationed \u201cLift him up higher; bring him down lower, what you have money, give us it, yes sir\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile serving as Commander of Zone nine in Redlight, I was able to work with the community police to bring down many hardcore criminal gangs in Paynesville, including the notorious \u2018Turtle Base\u2019 and things are still working up to now.\u201d<\/p>


<\/p>\n

Relationship with BTFS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2014 \u2013 during the EBOLA crisis \u2013 Commander Kerkula began working with by then UNPOL Peacekeeper, Police Captain Felix Walz, later founder of the Bowier Trust Foundation, and became close friends with him.<\/p>\n

Kerkuka has used Bowier Trust Foundation as a limelight to create massive awareness and stronger relationship in various community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must be grateful to the all mighty God, because with the Bowier Trust Foundation which is an NGO that really embrace this concept and support our ideas.<\/p>\n

And this concept initiated by Bowier Trust has been supported 100% by our political Representative, Hon. Samuel Enders and as for now, we have a listing of over 210 persons willing to form part of the community policing force\u201d (vigilante units).<\/p>


<\/p>\n

Called for Capacity Growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cWe believe in capacity building, and we are doing the vetting of the men; we will be training them in community policing and information sharing, human rights, our constitution and how to applied force as well as the limitation of their powers and Code of Conduct.<\/p>


<\/p>\n

Challenges while Serving \/ Motorcyclists<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mobility remains a challenge not only to Supt. Kerkula\u2019s command of the LNP, but to several other security sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cMobility is a serious challenge, but in so doing, the limited resource we have is used to provide service to our people.<\/p>\n

Some communities are not layout, so in case of incident to get easy access in responding on time will not be accurate.<\/p>\n

We want BTFS to help in that direction for us and to also help us with at least three laptops that will help us easily carried out our work, because we are in the digital age.\u201d These materials according to Supt. Kerkula will help with fast information sharing.<\/p>\n

Concluding, Kerkula named BTFS \u2013 Police \u2013 Motorcyclist relationship as vibrant, which he noted have created a stronger partnership between the two group more than ever before, but stressed the need that more training be done<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
