The summit which dissected the roles of the electorates, particularly women and youths, urged cooperation with personnel of the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies engaged in election security management for robust security before, during, and after the elections.
The IGP commended the initiative of the PCRC National Chairman, Alhaji Mogaji Ibrahim and the PCRC national executives while urging them to use their platform to improve security at the grassroots level while working to empower local communities to work in tandem with the NPF in ensuring their safety and security and to create a more secure environment for everyone.
Similarly, the IGP addressed the previous batch of police constables who have been trained in weapons handling, police tactics and techniques, human rights standards in arrest, detention and search of persons or vehicles, and public order management by the NPF Peacekeeping Office.
The officers conducted a brief demonstration of the contemporary techniques for crowd control and intervention in the event of public disorder which they have learned in preparation for the general elections.
Meanwhile, the IGP, while reiterating his vision for a police force built on the tenets of training and retraining, charged the officers to employ their training judiciously with a huge dedication to duty so as to ensure that the 2023 general elections security management is effectively handled at every level, particularly at the grassroots.
