The new Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, CP Abubakar Lawal, fdc, has charged men of the command to be professional in the discharge of their duties as “acts of indiscipline, unprofessionalism, corrupt practices, disrespect for fundamental human rights and laxity will not be tolerated” stressing that “carrot and stick approach will be used in personnel management.”
CP Lawal gave the charge on Wednesday, 18th August during the maiden Conference of Officers and Men of the Command held at the Senior Police Officers Mess, Enugu.
In his address, the Commissioner reiterated his resolve to strengthen and improve existing policing structures and strategies, with a view to enhancing public security and safety in the State.
He also ordered Area Commanders, DPOs and Heads of Tactical Teams of the Command to “ensure they dominate the public security space in order to build confidence,” while charging them to “maximize the Community Policing Strategy and ensure they partner, cooperate and build better goodwill with security stakeholders within their areas of responsibility (AoR).”
Consequently, the Enugu Police Boss pointed out that he will not hesitate to deploy the Carrot and Stick approach in ensuring commendable acts of personnel are duly rewarded, while condemnable ones are equally punished.
The Conference was attended by Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, including Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, Heads of Units/Sections, as well as selected Officers and Men of the Command.
