In particular, CLEEN trains the Special Weapon and Tactics (SWAT) units, formerly known as Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), and other personnel of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) on the process and procedures of human rights principles and standards in the discharge of their duties. It collaborates with the NPF and the Police Service Commission to develop Standard Operating Procedures for officers of the SWAT team. It also convenes high-level monthly accountability sessions with police oversight agencies to ensure that officers who do not follow procedure are held accountable for their actions and are adequately sanctioned. CLEEN works with other civil society organizations to advocate for the implementation of the Nigeria Police Act 2020. The award is expected to promote a human-rights-centered approach to policing through compliance with the Administration of Criminal Justice Act and the Nigeria Police Act.
