Police Boss Inaugurates Ahiahu PCRC

A Senior  Police Officer in charge of Ahoada Zonal Command in Rivers State,  Mr Humphrey Buruchi, has charged members of Police/Community Relations Committee (PCRC) to work out modalities through which they could prevent crimes within their environment.

Mr Buruchi who made the call while inaugurating Ahiahu branch of the PCRC in Erema, contended that modern policing required assistance of individuals, organisations and corporate bodies for it to work effectively.

He said that a policeman was not only a friend but a neighbour both in need and indeed, adding  that for good neigbourliness, there must be trust, confidence and co-operation between both parties, if the criminals in the society are to be effectively checked.

The police boss stressed the need for members of the comittee to live up to expectations, by not only holding regular meetings but also providing useful information that could make the area a crime free zone.

Also speaking, the chairman of the Omoku Division of PCRC, Mr Chika Ajie, enumerated the aims and objectives of the committee, stating that societal exigency has made the establishment of the committee a necessity.

Mr Ajie cautioned against admitting people of questionable character into the committee, because the PCRC is an organisation founded on integrity, transparency and obedience to the rule of law, he asserted.
