As a serving military officer with 14 years of service and 11 years of experience in training troops, I look for opportunities to impart knowledge and skills in my field of expertise.
I am a Certified Security Management Professional with a Level 6 Postgraduate Diploma in Security Management from the International Security Management Institute in the UK. My Experiences from studies and training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst UK, Ghana Military Academy, Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College and the Ghana Army Combat Training School, have enhanced my skills and expertise in security, training and related areas.
I have had a career honed by continuous indulgence in Military Operations, Peacekeeping and Counterinsurgency. I have also strived to provide the best training and consultancy in Security Risk Analysis, Crime Prevention, Managing of Security Functions, Security Design, Evaluation and Surveying, Perimeter Protection, Access Management, Facility Counterterrorism, Information Security and VIP Protection, knowledge on which I have acquired over the years.
