PIMAC INTERNATIONAL an organization in matters of safety, security, emergency, preparedness and disaster risk management, hosted its inaugural Public Safety Training and Meeting, bringing together key stakeholders, policymakers, security experts, and community leaders to discuss and implement strategies for enhanced public safety and business continuity. The event, spearheaded by the founder Mr. Pius Masai Mwachi, a leading authority in emergency preparedness, safety, and disaster management, aimed to foster stronger police-public partnerships and proactive community engagement.
Under the theme “Safety begins with me and you, so let us act now!”, the event provided a platform for professionals, volunteers, business leaders, pastoralists, farmers, public transporters, and security personnel to engage in meaningful discussions on critical safety and security challenges. The training sessions focused on strengthening law enforcement collaboration, promoting safety-driven economic growth, and addressing crime, terrorism, and cross-border conflicts.
“We saw the need of initiating this process from civilians in that we have three big meetings in the year March, June and October discussing safety beyond Africa, because there’s need for that so that we can address all issues affecting everyone. We say we are not pointing fingers at any entity, our discussion here is based on reality. Reality whereby we have a questionnaire form, we shall discuss and thereafter, we have a board of leaders who will take the resolution to the stakeholders and we are looking to have a 50 and 50 plus responsibility,” said Mr. Pius Masai, Founder PIMAC International.
Dr. Kenneth Wariga, of International College of Peace Studies, called upon the leadership to support the mental health and well being of officers.
“ I see some officers either afraid or suffering or feeling intimidated and so I would call the leadership team, to support the officers who are hard-working and its easy to recognize them. As an institution, we try currently to do a lot of community and public and police support in terms of supporting to train police on mental health,” he remarked.
Key Objectives of the Meeting, was to emphasize on trust-building and cooperation between the police and the public, encouraging businesses to integrate security measures for sustainable development, removing barriers such as experience-based qualifications to increase employment opportunities, introducing community-driven measures to counter violent crimes and terrorism and establishing ‘New Africa and Beyond Public Safety and Training Networks’ to sustain and expand security training efforts.
“This is a partnership between the public sector the private sector the civil society all the way down to schools and being able to create an environment of trust so it starts number one with an equivalent of what we are having to do a heart-to-heart and open conversation then it follows up with some of the resolutions that we’ll be able to make” stated Annette Kimitei, MD Senaca East Africa.
The organisation also reinforced its commitment to environmental sustainability through its Safisha Mazingira Day Initiative, encouraging communities to engage in voluntary tree planting and nurturing activities.
