Anambra Police Launches Code Of Conduct

Anambra
State Police Command has launched the Code of Conduct for its officers and men
at the Police Headquarters in Amawbia, near Awka.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Bala Nasarawa said at the
occasion Monday, that the code was aimed at providing officers and men with a
set of principles and standards of behaviour while on or off duty.

“It is expected to guide all police officers not to exceed
their authority in the enforcement of the law. “It is expected that they are to
conduct themselves in accordance with the constitution of the Federal Republic
and all other applicable laws.

“Indeed, the code will be regarded as an accountability
manual that will be applied on all officers, irrespective of their rank,’’ the
commissioner said.

Speaking on the achievements of the police in January,
Nasarawa said that the Police in Anambra would not relent until all forms of
criminality were wiped out.

“The police command killed two armed robbers during an
encounter, arrested nine other armed robbers and 16 kidnappers, while six
kidnap victims were rescued. “Thirty five assorted live ammunitions, two locally
made pistols, four magazines and 10 assorted vehicles were equally recovered,”
he said.
