COMMUNITY POLICING AS A VERITABLE TOOL FOR CRIME PREVENTION AND CONTROL ON OUR ROADS (PART 3)

Inappropriate Program Focus: Priority problems may not be selected for intervention because some members of the community perceive something else is more important, e.g., believing marihuana related traffic crashes rather than alcohol related crashes are a greater problem. This can lead to resources being directed to a problem that has relatively limited impact in the community. 

Alternatively, too many priorities may be selected, resulting in a lack of focus for the program, or ongoing commitment. Difficulties can also occur if a community member persists in advocating priority for an issue that she or he alone has a vested interest in.

Prevention of traffic injury is thus a major priority for public health in the country and requires a comprehensive approach involving a combination of environmental, legislative and educational strategies along with law enforcement.

VICARIOUS AND PRECARIOUS LIABILTY FOR CHURCH LEADERS IN AN EVOLVING SOCIETY

A PAPER DELIVERED AT THE 2022 LEIC NIGERIA CONFERENCE OF THE PRIESTHOOD LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (PLDI) ON THURSDAY 25TH AUGUST. 2022.

Vicarious liability is a form of a strict, secondary liability that arises under the common law doctrine of agency, respondent, superior, the responsibility of the superior for the acts of their subordinate or, in a broader sense, the responsibility of any third party that had the "right, ability or duty to control" the activities of a violator. It can be distinguished from contributory liability, knowledge is not an element of vicarious liability.

Most church leaders today especially in sub-saharan Africa are not aware of the great responsibility they carry in discharging their duties of care, safety and security of their congregants. 

THE OGUN STATE PCRC LEADERSHIP RETREAT/SEMINAR MAGBOGIJO 2024 TO HOLD IN AUGUST

Without building your personal leadership capacity, you will inhibit both your personal and organisations' ability to change and growth. Leadership impacts performance and performance impacts growth. Growth will not happen if people do not perform. 

Effective leadership builds more effective people, teams, and organizations that is why the Annual Ogun State PCRC Leadership Retreat instituted about three years ago has been vital to educating and enlightening leaders and members alike on the vision, mission and rudiments of governance of PCRC as a support-base of the Police and vanguard for community policing engagements.

20 REASONS TO JOIN POLICE COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE (PCRC)
