CP Olatunji Rilwan Disu has resumed duty as the new Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and he’s hitting the ground running. In his first address to journalists, he issued a stern warning to troublemakers, stating that his tenure will have zero tolerance for crime and criminality ¹.
Key Areas of Focus:
- Enhanced Community Policing: Olatunji aims to make police officers more visible and accessible, fostering a sense of safety and trust among residents.
- Intelligence Gathering: Strengthening intelligence-gathering capabilities to preemptively address potential threats and criminal activities.
- Technology Integration: Leveraging modern technology, such as data analytics and surveillance systems, to enhance operational efficiency and response times.
- Training and Development: Continuous training for officers to ensure they’re equipped with the latest techniques and knowledge in modern policing.
- Public Engagement: Actively engaging the public through town hall meetings and outreach programs to create a stronger bond between the police and the community.
This zero-tolerance approach is music to the ears of Abuja residents, who have been concerned about rising crime rates. Olatunji’s focus on community policing, intelligence gathering, and technology integration is expected to make a significant impact ¹. The police command has already recorded some successes in the fight against crime, with recent arrests of kidnappers and robbers ².
With Olatunji at the helm, Abuja residents can expect a more proactive and responsive police force. His commitment to public engagement and community policing is particularly welcome, as it’s essential for building trust between law enforcement and the community.
