The Chairman of the Commission, retired IG-P Solomon Arase congratulated the newly promoted officers.

Arase charged them to embrace a new policing culture that is hinged on a people-friendly approach that respects the fundamental rights of the citizens.

He warned them that they should desist from involving themselves in civil matters or trumping up false allegations against the public “as such conduct will not make them win the hearts and minds of the people who will deprive them of credible information from public-spirited individuals when dealing with internal security issues.”

The Chairman commended the Inspector – General of Police for collaborating with the Commission in ensuring that, for the first time in a very long while, the promotions have permeated all the departments of the Force.

”This singular act, I hope, will motivate the workforce to give back their best in ensuring that crimes and criminality are properly dealt with,” he said.

He reminded them that they should remember that benefits and burdens go together, adding that the good gesture of promoting them to the next rank should motivate them to ignite the indomitable fighting spirit ” which the Police have been known for throughout the years”.

According to the PSC Chairman, while the Commission pushes for improved welfare for the Officers, they should reciprocate by conducting themselves within established laws and rules guiding the Police Force.

Arase noted that as they go about their policing duties, the Commission wishes them God’s protection at all times ” and let them be reassured that their interests will be paramount to the Commission.”.  (vitalnewsngr.com)
