No fewer than 1,180 Police constables graduated on Friday from the Police College in Maiduguri, Borno State. 

Speaking at the passing out parade, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, charged them to show the highest level of character, discipline and integrity that matters in determining the extent they go in their policing career.

Represented by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in-charge of Nigeria Mobile Force, Ali Janga, the IGP said that discipline is the bedrock of policing and enjoined them to ensure self discipline toward the conduct of their activities.

He disclosed that the graduands would be posted back to their respective local government areas of origin to address communal crimes in their localities.

He explained that they would be deployed to complement officers on the forthcoming election security duties across the country in a bid to ensure a free, fair and credible electoral process.

Earlier, the Commandant of the College, DCP Bethrand Onuoha, charged the graduands not to deviate from what they have learnt in college in the course of discharging their duties.

The Nigerian Police Force have graduated 10,000 police constabulary to enhance community policing across the country.
