The new Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Mr Sam Okaula, has set the agenda of re-invigorating community policing in the state.
He stated this during the handover ceremony at the Anambra State Police Headquarters, Amawbia, Anambra State.
The new Police Commissioner vowed to fight crime to the end and ensure that the Anambra Police Command continues to be the best in the zone.
The former Commissioner of Police, Hosea-Hassan Karma, now Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of Zone 9, Umuahia, while acknowledging that the new CP is a thorough-bred officer, also commended the command’s officers as the best crop in the entire zone.
AIG Karma assured the new Commissioner of Police that he was inheriting a stabilised security structure made possible by the selfless commitment of the officers and men of the command as well as the support of the security-friendly State Governor, Willie Obiano.
He urged CP Okaula not to relent in consolidating on the feat.
Presenting the handover documents to the new Commissioner of Police, Mr Karma drew his attention to security flash points where he must consistently pay attention to.
Men of the Anambra State Police Command have expressed hope that the new CP would quickly facilitate the deployment of latest security techniques in the area of community policing as he promised.
