The IGP who noted that the nation’s security ecosystem is challenged, assured however that these challenges are not insurmountable.
He reassured the citizens that the Force under his new policing vision is already implementing new, improved, tailored-to-suit, and robust security solutions aimed at tackling crimes and neutralizing both existing and emerging security threats in the country.
The IGP, while restating his belief that the nation will soon overcome its security challenges, further noted that the Force is equally upscaling its collaboration with the military and other law enforcement agencies in both intelligence sharing and other target-oriented missions and operations.
