Persons With Proven Character’ll Make Community Policing, IGP Insists
The 36 state governments and Police Commands have been enjoined to ensure that persons drafted into the community policing system are people with proven character and integrity.
The Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, gave the advice while addressing officers and men of the Edo Police Command during his working and familiarisation tour of the state.
He said the Federal Government has adopted community policing to check crime and criminality, a practice he said was obtainable in most parts of today’s world.
The police boss said statistics have shown a reduction in the level of crime in some parts of the country compared to what it was when he first resumed office as the Inspector General of Police.
