Organization
The Sierra Leone Police (SLP) is headed by The Inspector General of Police, The professional head of the Sierra Leone Police forces who is appointed by the president of Sierra Leone. The Inspector General of Police is assisted by the Assistant Inspector General of Police. The current Inspector General of the Sierra Leone Police is Francis Alieu Munu. The deputy Inspector General of Police is Richard Moigbel.
At the national command level, are six Assistant Inspector Generals of Police (AIG) with responsibility for Personnel, Training and Welfare; Operations; Crime Services; Support Services; Professional Standards; and the Operational Support Division (OSD), (the armed wing of the SLP). Regional commanders known as Regpols who are also AIGs carry regional responsibilities for the Western, Northern, Southern and Eastern regions. All of these AIGs assist the IGP and the DIG in the running of the day-to-day affairs of the SLP. This is done through a joined up leadership approach practicalised into an Executive Management and Change Board, the highest policy making body in the organisation which meets once every week under the chairmanship of the IGP.
Each one of Sierra Leone's 12 administrative districts is headed by a local unit commander. The city of Freetown and its Western Area is under the Freetown Metropolitan Police, a branch of the Sierra Leone Police.
