The commissioner also enjoined them to ensure undercover operations to black spots, flash points, and other vulnerable criminal spots to nip in the bud all forms of crimes and criminality across the State.
” Make sure that detection of crimes are prompt to serve as effective deterrent to all criminals”
He reiterated the command’s level of preparedness, determination and commitment in synergy with other security agencies in ensuring safety of lives and property.
