Enugu New CP Reads Riot Act

The newly posted Commissioner of Police for Enugu State Command, CP Abubakar Lawal, has warned men and officers of the command that acts of indiscipline, unprofessionalism, corrupt practices, disrespect for fundamental human rights and laxity would not be tolerated under his watch.
CP Abubakar Lawal, gave the warning while addressing officers and Men of the Command, at the Senior Police Officers Mess, Enugu.
He, however reiterated his resolve to strengthen and improve existing policing structures and strategies, with a view to enhancing public security and safety in the State.
CP Lawal therefore ordered Area Commanders, DPOs and Heads of Tactical Teams of the Command to ensure they dominated the public security space in order to build confidence, charging them to maximise the Community Policing Strategy and ensure they partner, cooperate and build better goodwill with security stakeholders within their areas of responsibility.
He further tasked Officers and Men of the Command to remain resilient, resolute and professional in the discharge of their duties, while eschewing acts of indiscipline, corrupt practices, disrespect for fundamental human rights and laxity, warning that anything in the contrary will not be tolerated.
Consequently, the Enugu State Police Boss made it clear that he will not hesitate to deploy the Carrot and Stick approach in ensuring commendable acts of personnel were duly rewarded, while condemnable ones would be equally punished.
The Conference was attended by Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, including Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, Heads of Units/Sections, as well as selected Officers and Men of the Command.
