The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has come out to urge the 10,000 newly passed-out constables of the Nigeria Police Force to prioritize professionalism, fairness, and friendliness in the discharge of their duties.

He recently had his say while speaking at the passing-out parade of the 2022 batch, held at the Police Training School, Bauchi.

According to him, the ceremony marked the culmination of a six-month rigorous training programme conducted at four premier colleges and 12 police training schools nationwide, and he is confident that the new officers will demonstrate exceptional professionalism and dedication to service.

He added that their new role demands empathy and compassion towards the civilian population, particularly the vulnerable.

His words, “The exercise marks the culmination of a six-month rigorous training programme that has pushed the recruits to their physical and intellectual limits. Today’s Passing-Out Parade signifies a pivotal transition for these individuals, as they formally assume their roles as professional police officers, leaving their civilian status behind and embarking on a career of service and duty.

Our comprehensive and research-based curriculum has equipped them with fundamental policing ethics, norms, and practices, as well as modern law enforcement principles. We have high expectations for this graduating class of constables and are confident that they will uphold the values imparted to them during their training, thereby contributing to the enhancement of law enforcement in our country.

I am confident that these new officers will demonstrate exceptional professionalism, integrity, and dedication to service, thereby upholding the honour and prestige of the Police Force.

Your role demands empathy and compassion towards the civilian population, particularly the vulnerable, while maintaining firmness and fairness in all interactions. Strive to be perceived as a friend and partner to the public, inspiring hope and confidence in the security apparatus.

The uniform you wear and the office you hold is a symbol of trust and responsibility, never to be exploited for intimidation, harassment, or perversion of justice. Abhor all forms of lawlessness, human rights abuse, and unprofessional conduct. Instead, utilise your authority to protect citizens, enforce laws, and apprehend criminals.

Throughout your career, demonstrate boldness, responsibility, discipline, and loyalty to the Force, while remaining calm and composed in the face of adversity. As you progress, uphold the values of patriotism and dedication to service.”

WOW.
