The Anambra State Police Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, has launched an intensified night patrol initiative aimed at bolstering safety across the state. This strategic move is designed to deter criminal activities, reassure the public, and demonstrate the Police Command's unwavering commitment to creating a secure environment for residents.
According to SP Tochukwu Ikenga, Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra State Police Command, the night patrol effort is a critical component of the Command's broader strategy to sustain safety and security in Anambra. This initiative is expected to have a significant impact on reducing crime rates and enhancing public confidence in the state's security apparatus.
