PSC Unveils Plan For Police Accountability Database

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has launched a four-year strategic plan to reposition the Nigeria Police Force by making the organisation more accountable in line with international standards.
The commission also planned to set up an electronic database of police personnel, including the population of the force, their bio-data, years of enlistment, rank, educational qualifications, courses attended, eligibility for promotion and retirement dates.
Unveiling the Strategic Plan 2019-2023, in Abuja, yesterday, the PSC Chairman, Alhaji Musiliu Smith, said the vision of the agency was to give Nigerians a police force that is not only accountable, but respects human rights, noting that this was possible through well thought-out plans.
This, he said, informed the 4-day retreat held for the commission staff and management in Enugu in November, 2018, where the roadmap for giving Nigerians a world class police was discussed.
The former Inspector-General of Police said that the commission had demonstrated its action plan through merit-based promotion in the police, prompt disposal of disciplinary matters, monitoring of police conduct during elections, insistence on training and re-training and better service conditions for the force.
He called on stakeholders and development partners to assist the commission with the implementation of its programmes.
