In a major step towards modernising policing in Sierra Leone, the Sierra Leone Police (SLP) has announced a strategic policy to insure all police buildings nationwide, a move aimed at safeguarding public assets and ensuring institutional resilience.
The initiative forms part of the SLP’s broader transformation from a force-based to a service-oriented institution under the leadership of the Inspector General of Police, Mr William Fayia Sellu.
Over the years, several police facilities across the country have been vandalised or destroyed during episodes of public unrest and protest, leaving many structures abandoned or requiring costly reconstruction. These incidents have repeatedly placed unplanned financial strain on the government’s budget.
To address this challenge, the new policy will ensure that police buildings are insured against damage, allowing for quicker access to funds for repairs or rebuilding through insurance claims.
“This is a proactive step under the SLP Service Charter to ensure police buildings are no longer left in ruins or become a financial liability to the state,” said IG Sellu. “Insuring our buildings guarantees continuity, stability, and accountability in how we manage our infrastructure.”
The policy has been widely commended as a forward-thinking reform aligned with the SLP’s ongoing transition programme — designed to enhance professionalism, strengthen service delivery, and build institutional resilience.
By implementing this insurance policy, the Sierra Leone Police not only reinforces its role as a guardian of public safety, but also as a responsible custodian of national assets.
