The Abia State Police Command has launched a training programme on crime mapping, crime timing and crime nipping to improve intelligence gathering and strengthen crime prevention across the state.
The initiative which commenced on Tuesday, is designed to help security operatives identify crime hotspots, understand patterns in criminal activities and take timely action to prevent offences before they occur.
Represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Anthony Bessy, the Commissioner of Police, stated that the programme was in line with the Inspector-General of Police’s vision of building a professional and accountable force through intelligence-led and community policing.
He charged the participants to apply the knowledge gained during the training in their various operational areas to improve security operations.
The Commissioner of Police reiterated the Command’s commitment to lawful and professional policing, stressing the importance of proactive measures in protecting lives and property across Abia State.
The training brought together police personnel, representatives of sister security agencies and members of community security groups to promote collaboration and intelligence-sharing.
