The Anambra State Police Command has urged residents of the state to expose criminals among them to maintain law and order, prevent crimes and ensure public safety.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Tochukwu Ikenga, made the call in a statement on Monday.
Ikenga said that the Joint Security Force in the state had already step up surveillance and patrols to nip in the bud any untoward situation.
“Following the recent security assessment, the Anambra State Police Command has reiterated the importance of community participation in maintaining security and preventing crimes.
Consequently, the state police command urges residents not to be discouraged, but to remain vigilant and cooperative with the security agencies in exposing unrepentant criminals in the state.
By doing so, residents can play a crucial role in helping the police to maintain law and order, prevent crimes, and ensure public safety,” Ikenga said.
He enjoined members of the public to call the command’s control room phone number or the PPRO for a prompt response to any emergency or breach of peace.
