30 LDEA SENIOR OFFICERS CERTIFIED: AME ZION UNIVERSITY AND LDEA DEEPEN PARTNERSHIP IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

“Go and serve your nation well.”

Those were the closing words of the President of A.M.E. Zion University, The Rev. Emmanuel F. Johnson I, PhD, as 30 senior officers of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) received certificates at the University’s Graduate School of Professional Studies on Friday, September 4, 2026.

The ceremony marked the completion of the first batch of the LDEA Senior Officers Intensive Training Program, bringing together law enforcement professionals for focused training in areas they confront in the course of their daily work.

The sessions went beyond the classroom. Officers were engaged in evidence gathering and handling, investigative procedures under Liberia’s Criminal Procedure Law, intelligence gathering, professional reporting, case-file management and courtroom presentation, use of force, and constitutional safeguards governing investigative practices.

For law enforcement officers, these are not simply academic subjects. A poorly handled piece of evidence can weaken a case. An investigative step taken outside the law can undermine an otherwise legitimate arrest. A weak case file can leave good police work unable to stand in court.
That is why the President’s message at the certification ceremony carried particular weight.
“Your certificate today is not a trophy. It is a tool, a tool for service.”

President Johnson challenged the 30 officers to return to their assignments with a deeper appreciation of what their uniforms represent and the responsibility that comes with exercising state authority.

He framed that responsibility around the 3Cs of Service:

No Complaining.
No Compromising.
No Complacency.

He then challenged the officers to pursue what he described as V4 Determination: Vision, Valor, Virtue, and Victory.

The point was not simply to complete another training program or add another certificate to a personnel file. It was to become better officers, professionals who understand that effective drug enforcement requires more than making arrests. It requires lawful investigations, sound evidence, accurate reporting, professional judgment, and respect for constitutional safeguards.

A PARTNERSHIP WITH PURPOSE

A.M.E. Zion University appreciates the leadership of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency for trusting the University to contribute to the professional development of its senior personnel.

The partnership is particularly significant because LDEA has expressed its commitment to continue training its officers through the AME Zion University Graduate School of Professional Studies. That commitment gives the collaboration a longer horizon. It means the relationship can grow from one training cohort into a sustained investment in professional development and institutional capacity.

The University also pays special tribute to former OIC, Director Fitzgerald T. M. Bago, whose vision for strengthening the capacity of LDEA personnel helped lay the foundation for this initiative. Institutions become stronger when their leaders recognize that investing in people is one of the surest ways to strengthen the institution itself. Further, the President congratulated the the new Executive Director and his able deputies and assured them of the University's commitment in continuing the partnership collaboration in building the capacity of the LDEA.

Appreciation is also extended to President Rev. Dr. Emmanuel F. Johnson I, the Dean’s Office of the Graduate School & Professional Studies, the Graduate School Criminal Justice College, and Cllr. Arthur T. Johnson Jr. for the vision, coordination, and work that went into making the program possible.

To the 30 officers of this first batch, the University’s message is straightforward:
Do not complain.
Do not compromise.
Do not become complacent.

Have vision. Have valor. Have virtue. Pursue victory.
Your certificate is now in your hands. The real test begins when you return to duty.
Go and serve your nation well.
Congratulations to the LDEA First Batch of 2026!

REV. DR. EMMANUEL F. JOHNSON I DELIVERS POWERFUL MESSAGE AT THE 3RD BIENNIAL CONFERENCE OF THE AME ZION CHURCH IN GHANA

The 5th President of AME Zion University, Liberia, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel F. Johnson I, is representing the University at the 3rd Biennial Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (AMEZC) in Ghana, being held from August 18–23, 2026, in Cape Coast, Ghana.

The conference is being held under the theme:

“Serving Our Church in the Present Age: Focusing on Our Ministry”

with the sub-theme:

“Walking, Working & W**ding with Christ.”

In his remarks, Rev. Dr. Johnson challenged clergy, lay delegates, and the wider AMEZC family to recognize that “the work is now, the time is now, and the responsibility is ours.”

He introduced the C3 Principles as a practical framework for effective ministry in the present age:

• NO COMPLAINING — The Church must reject a spirit of victimhood and trust God as the Way Maker.

• NO COMPLACENCY — The Church must move beyond excuses, spiritual sleep, and “business as usual” and remain committed to winning souls and advancing the ministry.

• NO COMPROMISING — The Church must remain faithful to the truth and refuse to dilute its values in response to the pressures of the present age.

Rev. Dr. Johnson summarized the charge with a powerful call:

“We Walk with Christ. We Work for Christ. We W**d for Christ.”

A FLASH ON AMEZU’S PROGRESS SINCE 2023

Reflecting on the progress of AME Zion University since 2023, Rev. Dr. Johnson highlighted several areas of growth, including:

• Administrative, academic, resource mobilization, and infrastructure reforms.

• Significant growth in enrollment across the University’s programs, increasing from a few hundred students to approximately 2,000 students.

• The launch and operation of the Graduate School of Professional Studies in Monrovia.

• The acquisition and development of a new expansion campus in North Central Liberia, situated on approximately 1.15 acres, featuring 10 classrooms, 6 offices, 4 bathrooms, and a multipurpose hall currently under construction. The campus is nearing completion and is expected to accommodate more than 1,000 students.

Rev. Dr. Johnson expressed appreciation to Bishop Dogbe, the Board of Trustees, and Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Michael S. Bell for their support and partnership in making these developments possible.

“God has been faithful. He is indeed the Greatest Provider.”

As the conference continues, Rev. Dr. Johnson urged the AMEZC family in Ghana and beyond to carry the C3 principles into their ministries:

No Complaining.
No Complacency.
No Compromising.

We are not victims. We are victors.
We are not a vacancy. We are vessels in partnership with God.

May the Alpha and Omega establish this Conference, and may the Way Maker continue to make a way for every ministry represented.

To God be the glory.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
