The Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, psc, mspsp, smicm, has sustained his routine patrols across the state, with the latest conducted on Monday, covering the Udenu Area through the Enugu-Opi-Nsukka Road and extending to the Enugu/Benue boundary.
At the boundary point, he was received by the Otukpa Area Commander, Benue State Command, ACP Cosmas Eze.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, mnipr, mnisma.
According to the statement, CP Giwa charged ACP Eze and his Udenu counterpart, ACP Stephen Abiaziem, to sustain the existing interstate operational synergy through the Handshake Patrol initiative of the Nigeria Police Force, introduced by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc (+), NPM.
He emphasised that collaboration between adjoining state commands is a key strategy for tackling contemporary and complex crimes, and urged both Area Commanders to maximise the opportunities provided by the Handshake Patrol initiative.
The Commissioner of Police also visited the Udenu, Umabor and Unity Divisions, where he addressed the Divisional Police Officers, DPOs, and personnel on professionalism, respect for citizens’ rights and courteous treatment of members of the public.
At the Enugu-Opi-Nsukka Road, he engaged operatives of the Distress Response Squad, DRS, warning them against extortion and other forms of corruption.
Charge Room Officers, CROs, and other personnel were also reminded that they are the first point of contact for members of the public visiting the Police Station and must, therefore, project the image and values of the Nigeria Police Force.
The routine patrols and supervisory divisional visits, which are in line with the policing vision of the Inspector-General of Police, are aimed at strengthening proactive and intelligence-led policing, preventing crime, boosting public confidence and enhancing professionalism.
The Commissioner of Police was accompanied on the patrol by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, DCP Gregory Itobore; the Commanding Officer, No. 3 Police Mobile Force, PMF, Enugu, ACP Azeez Idowu; the Commander, Distress Response Squad, DRS, ACP Kelvin Aiyegbusi; and the Head, Command’s Violent Crime Response Unit, VCRU, CSP Henry Imo.
Also on the patrol were the Head, Anti-Kidnapping Sub-Unit of the VCRU, CSP Chukwuka Odum; the Commanding Officer, Counter Terrorism Unit, SP Uju Okeke; and the Head, Anti-Cultism Sub-Unit of the VCRU, DSP Isaac Odogwu, among other officers and men.
