The Anambra State Police command said it is set to commence the training/reorientation of vigilante operatives in the state.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Tochukwu Ikenga said that following the decision, the command has already begun the documentation and necessary health checks of the operatives.

According to him, the exercise aims to equip the operatives on security protocols, human rights, and community policing security principles to enhance collaboration with the Police and other security agencies for overall safety and security in the State.

He added that the training shall also feature lectures on ethics and professionalism, synergy with other security agencies, management of crime scene, rule of law, and handling of exhibits, as well other necessary security need-to-know.

"The ongoing documentation would help to ensure accountability, enhance the organisational structure of the group and streamline vigilante operations in the state.

This effort demonstrates the Police Command and the State Government’s collaborative commitment to community security and safety", the PPRO said.
