▪︎Assures new operational protocols will bequeath nation stable security order
The Acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Usman Alkali Baba, has unveiled a new policing vision and crime-fighting strategies for the Nigeria Police Force.
According to Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, CP Frank Mba, the IGP made the new operational protocols public during the inaugural conference with Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police, Commissioners of Police and other Heads of Police formations in the country, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Mba said the highlights of the new policing vision included deploying cutting-edge policing technology and integrating intelligence-led policing practices in core policing functions, with a view to strengthening police capacity to stabilise the internal security order and restore public confidence in the Force.
He added that the new policing vision equally seeks to, among other things, give full effect to the concept of community policing and deliver quality police service that would be guided by the principles of public accountability and conformity to the rule of law.
Mba said it would also embrace the social content of policing in which police officers see themselves as compassionate servants and helpers of the citizens.
He said the IGP stated that the meeting with the Strategic Commanders was convened to discuss strategies to roll-back the unacceptable security tide occasioned by the increasing threat to internal security by terror elements, bandits, kidnappers, armed robbery syndicates and arms traffickers.
The IGP also reassured citizens that the Force under his leadership shall evolve a new policing culture where police officers would uphold the rights of the people and work within professional standards.
He expressed confidence that in the shortest possible time, the new policing vision and operational strategies would return the nation to the path of public safety, security and peace.
Meanwhile, as part of the Force reorganization plans to ensure that its units operate only in the context of their original mandates and remain human rights compliant, humane and people-driven, the IGP has ordered the immediate reforms of the IGP Monitoring Unit and the disbandment of all its satellite offices across the country.
