Abia CP Reviews Security Strategy, Warns Officers Against Misconduct

The Commissioner of Police in Abia State, CP Danladi Isa, has reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to protecting lives and property, warning officers against unprofessional conduct while carrying out their duties.

The police commissioner gave the charge during a strategic security meeting with senior officers of the Command held on Friday, June 26.

Isa said the meeting was part of the Command’s continuous efforts to strengthen security across Abia State through proactive policing and improved coordination among field commanders.

“We must remain proactive in tackling crime and ensuring the safety of residents. Every officer has a responsibility to carry out assigned duties professionally and in line with the law,” the commissioner said.

He also reminded officers of the Inspector-General of Police’s directive on the enforcement against unregistered vehicles and vehicles with covered number plates, stressing that the exercise must be conducted with civility and strict adherence to professional standards.

“The enforcement of this directive must never become an opportunity for misconduct. Any offender should be processed in accordance with the law and charged to court where necessary,” he said.

The commissioner further directed senior officers to maintain close supervision of personnel under their command, warning that supervisors would be held accountable for any misconduct arising from inadequate oversight.

To promote transparency and accountability, the Command urged members of the public to report any act of police misconduct to the Abia State Police Command’s Complaint Response Unit through 09031593827 or 09035401645.

The Abia State Police Command said it remains committed to strengthening public confidence through professional policing and sustained efforts to maintain peace and security across the state.

The meeting brought together Area Commanders, Squadron Commanders, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), and the Commander of the Vehicle Crime Recovery Unit (VCRU) to assess the state’s security situation and fine-tune operational strategies aimed at preventing crime.
