The engagement is the latest meeting of the West Africa Police Chiefs Committee (WAPCCO) and is scheduled to run from Monday, November 17, to Friday, November 21, 2025.
With a focus to strengthen regional cooperation, IG Coleman is joining his counterparts, the Police Chiefs of Sierra Leone and The Gambia, for the high-level talks.

The summit is expected to tackle pressing security challenges, including cross-border crime, drug trafficking, terrorism, and the maintenance of law and order in the lead-up to and aftermath of major regional events.
Outcomes from this WAPCCO engagement are anticipated to shape the joint security operations and cooperative frameworks of the participating nations for the immediate future.
