The Commissioner of Police in Abia State, CP Danladi Isa, has held a strategic security meeting with senior officers of the Command to assess the state's security architecture and strengthen measures aimed at preventing crime and protecting lives and property.

The meeting, which took place on Friday at the State Command Headquarters, brought together Area Commanders, Squadron Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and the Commander of the Visitor Crime Response Unit (VCRU).

Addressing the officers, CP Danladi said the meeting was convened to review existing security strategies and develop additional proactive measures to improve crime prevention and detection across the state.

The Police Commissioner also reiterated the directive of the Inspector-General of Police on the enforcement against unregistered vehicles and vehicles with covered number plates. He stressed that officers must carry out the exercise with the highest level of professionalism.

He warned that offenders should be prosecuted in line with the law and cautioned officers against turning the enforcement exercise into an opportunity for extortion or any other form of unprofessional conduct.

CP Danladi further directed supervising officers to closely monitor the activities of their subordinates to prevent misconduct, avoid vicarious liability and ensure strict compliance with professional standards.

He also encouraged members of the public to report cases of police misconduct through the Complaint Response Unit of the Abia State Police Command using the dedicated telephone lines provided by the Command.

The Commissioner reaffirmed the Command's commitment to maintaining peace and security across Abia State while safeguarding the lives and property of residents.
