Concerned by the nagging insecurity situation in the country, the top officers of the Nigeria Police Force including Deputy Inspectors General (DIG) of Police, Assistant Inspectors General (AIG) and Commissioners of Police (CPs) have concluded plans to hold a retreat to restrategise, evolve a new roadmap and improve the internal security of the country.
A statement signed by the Force Spokesman, Frank Mba, disclosed that the 2-day retreat will hold in Akwa-Ibom state and will be supported by the state government.
The conference and retreat which is with the themed: “The New Police Vision: A Roadmap for Stabilizing Internal Security in Nigeria,” the statement said, “is part of efforts by the current Police leadership to collaborate with critical stakeholders in driving a policing vision that would amongst other benefits, avail Police Strategic Managers with contemporary and vantage opportunities to effectively deliver on their mandates.
“It will also afford the Police leadership the opportunity to identify and set measurable crime fighting agenda for the Force in the year 2022.”
The statement quoted the IGP as saying that “the Conference and Retreat will equally provide a unique opportunity for the Strategic Managers of the Force and carefully selected Public Safety Experts to engage in peer review and cross fertilization of ideas for improved internal security management in the country.
