The Liberian Coast Guard (LCG) of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) says it will train 40 personnel of the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS), specifically officers assigned with the agency’s Border Patrol Marine Units, a release from the Ministry of National Defense (MoD) has said. The LIS personnel, according to the release, will be trained in the operation of Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIB) beginning May 1 to May 19 at the LCG, based outside Monrovia. LIS’ Commissioner Lemuel Reeves represented the agency, while Tibli O. Dickson represented the MOD/AFL. The LIS, being desirous of training its designated personnel for the use of these boats, requested personnel of the Coast Guard to assist in conducting the training. In the MOU, the LCG will offer LIS’ officers two courses on the topics, “Small Boat Operations and Outboard Motor Maintenance,” which is expected to last for 18 days.
