IGP unveils New Year strategic action plan for crime reduction

Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has issued a directive to all police commands and formations nationwide to implement a New Year Strategic Action Plan aimed at reducing crime and enhancing law enforcement efficiency.

In a statement released on Sunday by Force Public Relations Officer Ademuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP highlighted the significance of strategic planning and data-driven approaches to combating crime.

He urged officers to adopt proactive measures rather than reactive responses in addressing criminal activities across the country.

“The IGP’s directives come at a crucial time, as recent assessments indicate a need for increased vigilance, attitudinal change, better human reactions, and proactive law enforcement measures in communities nationwide.

” The Action Plan will include several key initiatives designed to strengthen the police force and its units, improve community relations, and reduce crime drastically in the first quarter of the year 2025. Officers are directed to engage in more intelligence-Led Policing, training and capacity building, public awareness campaigns, and strengthening commitment to public safety.

“The IGP hereby calls upon all officers to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism as they engage with the community. Officers are reminded that they must continually adopt and emplace their strategies to meet the evolving challenges of public safety.

“In furtherance of the IGP’s directive and to ensure its implementation, the IGP has been billed to meet the Strategic Commanders of the police virtually on Monday, 13th January, 2025,” the statement said.
