Police Commission promotes 5718 Senior  Officers

The Police Service Commission has approved the promotion of 5718 senior Police Officers comprising both General duty and specialists cadres of the Force.

The Commission approved the promotion of twelve Commissioners of Police to the next rank of Assistant Inspectors General of Police, AIG; Nineteen  Deputy Commissioners of Police, DCPs to the substantive rank of Commissioners and twenty one Assistant Commissioners of Police, ACPs to the next rank of Deputy Commissioners. Thirty three Chief Superintendents of Police, CSPs were also elevated to Assistant Commissioners.

The Commission further approved the promotion of 265 Superintendents of Police to Chief Superintendents; fifty nine Deputy Superintendents to Superintendents and 4750 Assistant Superintendents  and another 146 Assistant Superintendents omitted during the May 2022 promotion exercise elevated to Deputy Superintendents.

For the Specialists cadre, the Commission approved the promotion of two Assistant Commissioners of Police; one from  Airwing and the other Forensic to the next rank of Deputy Commissioners; 47 CSPs comprising 23 Medical Doctors and 24 Veterinary Doctors were promoted to the rank of Assistant Commissioners of Police.

One hundred and Ninety  Superintendents of Police from the Computer Info- Tech Unit; another eight from Works; one workshop; twelve transport; two forensic; two handwriting; one ballistcs; one religion and one Veterinary Doctor were also promoted.

Forty seven Specialists of Assistant Superintendents of Police rank and of different  Units were promoted to Deputy Superintendents.

The PSC Chairman charged the newly promoted Officers  to embrace a new policing culture  that is hinged on  people friendly approach that respects the fundamental rights of the citizens and warned that they should desist from involving themselves in civil matters or trumping up false allegations  against  the public “as such conduct will not make them win the hearts  and minds of the people which will deprive them of credible information  from public spirited individuals  when dealing with internal security issues.

Dr. Arase commended the Inspector General of Police  for collaborating with the Commission  in ensuring that for the first time in a very long while, the promotions have permeated  all the departments of the Force.  ” This singular act I hope will motivate the workforce  to give back their best in ensuring that issues of crimes and criminality  are properly  dealt with”. He reminded them that they should remember  that benefits and  burden go together adding that the good gesture  of promoting them to the next rank should be a motivation  that will  ignite the indomitable fighting spirit ” which the Police have been  known for throughout the years”.
