Kano: Police pledges community-oriented policing, zero tolerance for misconduct
The police command in Kano has reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and community-oriented policing.
This, it said, aligns with the directives of the inspector-general of police, Olatunji Disu. The command’s spokesman, Abdullahi Haruna-Kiyawa, announced this in Kano on Tuesday.
The police commissioner in Kano, Ibrahim Adamu-Bakori, disclosed this during a strategic meeting with all supervising officers at the command headquarters in Bompai, Kano.
Mr Adamu-Bakori noted that recent successes in intelligence-led operations, arms recovery, and rapid response were due to improved coordination and professionalism at the supervisory level.
He directed officers to embrace the IGP’s vision by upholding accountability, transparency, and integrity in all operations and administrative processes.
“Strengthen community policing engagements through regular stakeholder meetings, intelligence sharing, and collaborative problem-solving with traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups, and civil society organisations to build public trust,” he urged.
Mr Adamu-Bakori also called on officers to remain firm and decisive, to resist external influence, and to ensure that all actions were guided by the rule of law and respect for human rights.
“Fear God and act as custodians of public trust by maintaining discipline, neutrality, and exemplary conduct at all times. Enhance supervision and mentorship of junior officers to eliminate unprofessional conduct and ensure quality service delivery at divisional and outstation levels.
“The IGP’s directive on enhanced community policing is central to modern policing and crime prevention,” Mr Adamu-Bakori said.
He warned that any officer found guilty of unprofessional conduct, extortion, abuse of power, or dereliction of duty would face disciplinary action without exception.
Mr Adamu-Bakori added that the command would continue to reward diligence and sanction misconduct.
The police commissioner urged Kano residents to continue cooperating with the force by providing timely, credible information to support proactive policing.
