COMMUNITY POLICING WILL REDUCE CRIME IN COMMUNITIES -IGP

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, said community policing will reduce crime in communities.

He said if the scheme is achieved, it will be a perfect force to stem out hate speech, insurgency and other societal ill ravaging the country.
The IGP stated this at the weekend, during the occasion of the Graduating Ceremony of Advanced Detective Course, held at the Police Staff College in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

He said, “the Force management has relaunched the Community Policing Scheme with massive campaign on robust engagement of critical stakeholders and other non – state actors, to engender public support aimed at achieving very low crime profile in our communities.

“These endeavors have also resulted in the establishment of Eminent Persons Forum, strengthening the Police Public Relation committees in all the Commands and the Regular Convocation of security Summits in various locations”.
