NPF begins nationwide sensitisation to prepare officers for a possible new policing structure.

As Nigeria inches closer to one of its biggest policing reforms, the Nigeria Police Force is taking steps to ensure its officers are informed, prepared and ready for the possible implementation of State Police.

Francis Fom reports that beyond the national debate, the Force is focusing on addressing officers’ concerns, combating misinformation and building a common understanding of the proposed reform.

While the final decision on State Police rests with the constitutional amendment process, the Nigeria Police Force says preparedness, professionalism and public understanding remain essential to ensuring that any transition strengthens security rather than weakens it
