IGP Unveils New Policing Vision And Crime Fighting Strategies

The Nigeria Police Force’s Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP Usman Alkali Baba, NPM, psc (+), fdc, has launched a modern security vision and crime-fighting tactics.

During an inaugural conference with Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police, Commissioners of Police, and other Heads of Police Formations in the country, held at the Force Headquarters in Abuja today, Thursday, 15th April 2021, the IGP made the latest operational protocols public.

The new policing vision includes deploying cutting-edge policing technologies and incorporating intelligence-led policing activities into core policing roles with the goal of improving police capability to restore public trust in the Force and stabilize the internal security order.

The new policing vision equally seeks to, among other things, give full effect to the concept of community policing and deliver quality police service that will be guided by the principles of public accountability and conformity to the rule of law. It will also embrace the social content of policing in which police officers see themselves as compassionate servants and helpers of the citizens.
