NEW APPROACH
The build up to the 2019 election and the election itself took quite a lot of man-hours that was usually deployed to curtail crime within the FCT. We are happy that the elections, conducted in a peaceful atmosphere, have come and gone.

Manpower employed to ensure this success of the election will now be ploughed into crime fighting. Essentially a return to status quo.

Our aim is sustain the known character of Abuja as being the home of peace and security in the country. This, we hope to achieve by complete deployment of manpower recovered after the election. And also review our crime fighting strategies improved visibility, vehicular and foot patrols, intensive raids of criminals hide outs. Etc.
