The Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, has advised newly recruited police officers to always bear in mind that the primary purpose of carrying arms is to save lives and protect property, not for unprofessional practices.

The Police Commissioner gave the advice during a visit to the Police Training School (PTS), Nekede, where he addressed over 480 recruits, emphasizing the core values of integrity, professionalism, and public trust.

In a press statement by the Command’s spokesperson, ASP Henry Okoye, CP Danjuma urged the recruits to align their actions with the vision of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, to build a service-oriented police force that upholds the rule of law and fosters positive relationships with the public.

The CP highlighted the responsible use of firearms, stressing that force should only be used when necessary and in line with Force Order 237, ensuring that it is proportional to the threat and aimed at protecting lives.
