At a subsequent stakeholders’ meeting, the Commissioner reiterated that security is a collective responsibility, urging community leaders and residents to support security agencies with useful intelligence that could aid crime prevention and the prompt apprehension of criminal elements.
He reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to combating criminal activities and strengthening police-community relations across the state.
Addressing officers and men of the Ughelli Area Command, CP Erale charged them to remain alert, intensify intelligence-led policing and maintain the highest standards of professionalism in carrying out their responsibilities.
He specifically warned against extortion, unlawful arrests and violations of citizens’ fundamental human rights, stressing that the Command would not condone any form of police misconduct.
