Mr Egbetokun says Nigerian criminals are now more sophisticated, more organised and more ruthless than ever before.
, Olukayode Egbetokun, said the Nigeria Police will establish a Quick Intervention Squad to tackle the menace of crimes and criminality.
“This will be done with the establishment of a specialized Quick Intervention Squad which will comprise combat ready Police Mobile Force personnel with effective and enhanced training in crisis de-escalation and violent crime reduction strategies. According to him, the world is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and so the Nigeria Police should adapt to the evolving landscape of crime.
The I-G said this would be achieved through a robust and effective human and technical intelligence gathering process to enhance the capacity of personnel. Mr Egbetokun said his administration would also prioritise the enhancement of the Nigeria Police training curriculum with special focus on attitudinal and behavioural changes for new recruits and reorientation programme for serving officers.The police boss said the idea was to further refine the perception of officers to concepts of human rights, rule of law and citizen-focused policing.
