The @MBuhari Administration is bringing fundamental changes to Policing in Nigeria, through the expedited implementation of our Community Policing initiative, by @PoliceNG.

#PolicingNigeria
The new Community Policing initiative will involve the engagement of Community Policing Officers (CPOs), under the coordination of @PoliceNG. These CPOs will be recruited from and assigned to their local communities of residence, across the 774 LGAs of Nigeria. #PolicingNigeria
The Community Policing Officers (CPOs) will be deployed to complement @PoliceNG in law enforcement functions within their localities by performing low-risk and non-sensitive duties. They will also act as liaisons between the Police and their communities. #PolicingNigeria
The Community Policing deployment plan will in the initial phase cover the recruitment of forty thousand (40,000) CPOs across the country. #PolicingNigeria
In addition, one thousand (1,300) CPOs will be drawn from professional bodies: Academia, Religious Bodies, Transport Unions, Artisans, Traders Associations, Women’s Groups, and Youth Organisations, among others, in order to ensure diverse representation. #PolicingNigeria
