It
is pertinent to emphasize here that these aforementioned successes were
made possible through information availed to the Police from well
meaning members of the public, who as partners in progress with the
Nigeria Police share our desires and aspirations to enable a safe and
secure environment for all residents in the State.
The Command
has put in place crime preventive measures which includes visibility
policing, Community Partnership, constant raids of black spots, regular
foot and vehicular patrols, surveillance on buildings and vulnerable
areas, stop and search, and intelligence led policing through
partnership with sister agencies and other non-Governmental
organisations in order to provide safety and security in the State.
Also,
in compliance with the IGPs directive, the Command has recently launched
Change Begins with Me campaign and Police Public Complaint Rapid
Response unit (PCRRU). Today you are also going to witness the
distribution of (PCRRU) flyers and IGPs core value to stakeholders in
order to enable members of the public who have complaint against any of
our action to report directly to Police Complaint Rapid Response Unit
(PCRRU) for prompt action.
Equally, tremendous effort are made
in collaboration with all major stakeholders to get valuable
information which after evaluation can be used as actionable
intelligence that can assist in fighting crime in the state. The whole
idea is to nip in the bud these emergent trends of crime presently
bedevilling the State due to influx of suspected Cattle Rustlers,
Kidnappers and Insurgents and other misguided elements.
The
Command assured members of the public that despite above mentioned
challenges, it is fully committed and battle ready towards ensuring
safety and security in the State. People should feel free to come
forward with any reasonable information and be rest assured that it will
be treated with utmost confidentiality.
More so, the command has made adequate security arrangement to ensure a hitch free Christmas and New Year celebration.
