Inspector General of Police
(IGP), Solomon Arase, yesterday unveiled a wide scope of strategies for
curtailing crimes, saying the police will henceforth work with
communities and social groups.
Speaking at a national security summit,
organised by the Nigeria Police, in collaboration with The Sun
Publishing Limited, Arase said the police would use traditional rulers,
youth organizations, community-based associations, the media, women
bodies and religious associations to tackle crimes in the society.
The IGP noted that these groups that had been grossly underutilized were very strategic assets to the nation’s security.
He said: “If properly engaged, the
citizen-driven policing model will free police’s human, financial
resources which are deployed to the management of low-level crimes and
ensure that police assets are optimally deployed to manage high level
crimes.”
