The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Nnanna Oji Ama has instituted a strategic monitoring mechanism thru the Command’s Operational Control Rooms to closely monitor checkpoints, patrol teams and other operational activities across the State.
The initiative is designed to sustain effective policing, accountability and professionalism, following feedback received at the recent Anambra Security Stakeholders’ Interactive Sessions across the three Senatorial Districts.
It will also stop extortion, harassment and other abuses against the public by police personnel.
The Command’s Operational Control Rooms, under the new strategy, will have a closer watch over patrol formations and checkpoints while Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and Tactical Team Commanders will be expected to give account of activities of personnel posted in strategic locations.
