The meeting focused on strengthening police-community relations, improving intelligence gathering and enhancing cooperation between residents and security agencies to prevent crime and maintain peace across the state.

He emphasised that security was a collective responsibility and called on estate associations, community leaders and other stakeholders to maintain regular communication with the Police.
The commissioner also reassured non-indigenes that the Command remained committed to protecting all law-abiding residents and business owners in Anambra State, irrespective of their state of origin or cultural background.
As part of efforts to improve access to police assistance, CP Ama reiterated the availability of a dedicated WhatsApp security line, 09169531886, through which residents can report security concerns, share credible intelligence and request police intervention.
He urged members of the public to use the channel responsibly, noting that timely and reliable information could help security operatives respond more effectively to emerging threats.
The Command further called on estate associations, non-indigene groups, community leaders and residents to sustain their collaboration with law enforcement agencies, stressing that effective information sharing and community participation were essential to crime prevention.
The development underscores the Anambra Police Command’s emphasis on community-based policing and stakeholder engagement as part of efforts to strengthen security and promote peaceful coexistence across the state.
