By Izunna Okafor, Awka: Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) heading the various police divisions and stations across Anambra state have been charged to keep their stations clean and orderly, while also ensuring that personnel uphold discipline, professionalism and respect for the fundamental rights of citizens. The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, gave the charge on Monday, September 14, during unscheduled visits to police divisions across the state (Rapid Response Squad Awkuzu; Dunukofia Police Station; Oyi Police Station; newly-constructed Ogbunike Police Station).
At the stations, CP Nnanna inspected the general condition of the divisions' facilities, arms and other operational equipment. According to a statement by PPRO SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the visit was part of efforts to strengthen policing at the various formations. The Commissioner directed DPOs to prioritise proper maintenance and facelift of their stations, to ensure police facilities remain clean, functional and conducive to effective service delivery - emphasizing that the physical condition of a police station contributes significantly to public confidence.
CP Nnanna equally reminded personnel that effective policing must go hand in hand with professionalism and respect for citizens' rights, and reiterated the Command's commitment to proactive, intelligence-led and community-oriented policing.
