-Urges residents to identify flash-points
The newly deployed Cross River State Commission of Police, Mr Abdulkadir Jimoh has launched operation “Operation Mulky Water” in Calabar.
Jimoh said one of the ways to tackle the persistent insecurity in the State is to identify the flash-points and invest in intelligence gathering and software Community Policing strategy.
The Commissioner who spoke with journalists shortly after inspecting the strategic areas in the command said the patrols to hinterlands would be strengthened to protect areas that are vulnerable to crime.
He warned officers and men of the command against extortion just as he read the riot act to criminals operating in the state to relocate or his new method of fighting crimes and his robust community policing background will flush them out of town.
The new State police Boss pledged to ensure the protection of lives and property in line with the mandate of the Inspector General of Police by adopting “results-yielding approaches” to fight crime in his area of operation.
