Up grade of facilities in some police training institutions at the

Procurement and installation of intelligence equipment at Force

\nat the cost of N1.3 Billion.<\/p>\n

\nNasarawa, Niger, Sokoto, Ogun, Lagos, FCT, at the
\ntotal cost of N5 Billion:<\/p>\n
#<\/p>\n
(E) ACTIVELY COLLABORATE WITH THE
\nPRIVATE SECTOR TO CREATE A LARGE
\nNUMBER OF WELL-PAYING JOBS FOR
\nNIGERIAN YOUTHS AND IMPLEMENT A
\nSTRATEGY TOWARDS THE REALIZATION
\nOF MR. PRESIDENT\u2019S JUNE 12 PROMISE
\nTO TAKE 100 MILLION NIGERIANS OUT
\nOF POVERTY IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS.<\/p>\n
#<\/p>\n
(9)
\nTO REALISE THESE LAUDABLE OBJECTIVES THE NEED TO
\nDEEPEN INTERNAL SECURITY THROUGH PROACTIVE
\nPOLICING TO SERVE AS STIMULUS FOR ECONOMIC
\nDEVELOPMENT AND CREATION OF JOB OPPROTUNITIES
\nBECOMES IMPERATIVE. THIS UNDERSCORES THE
\nREALIZATION OF PEOPLE-CENTRIC POLICING PARADIGM AND
\nRE-CALIBRATION OF EXISTING POLICE FRAMEWORK TO
\nCREATE A SECURED AND ENABLING ENVORINMENT THAT
\nWILL ATTRACT INFLOW OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS,
\nAND ECONOMIC BUOYANCY FOR CREATION OF JOB
\nOPPORTUNITIES FOR NIGERIANS.<\/p>\n
#<\/p>\n
(10)
\nALSO, TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN
\nRECORDED IN THE REVIEW OF TRAINING CURRICULUM, FOR
\nTHE NIGERIA POLICE TRAINING INSTITUTIONS TO ALIGN WITH
\nCONTEMPORARY POLICING REALITIES IN THE COUNTRY.<\/p>\n
(11)
\nA PROPOSAL IS IN THE PIPELINE TO GIVE LEGAL
\nBACKING TO POLICE TRAINING INSTITUTIONS NATIONWIDE.
\nTHIS IS GEARED TOWARDS GIVING THEM SELF ACCOUNTING
\nSTATUS, SO AS TO ENHANCE CAPABILITIES OF TRAINING
\nINSTITUTIONS TO PRODUCE QUALITY MANPOWER NEEDED TO
\nPROVIDE 21ST CENTURY POLICE SERVICES IN NIGERIA.<\/p>\n
#<\/p>\n
(12).
\nOur intelligence-led policing paradigm have
\nresulted in deployment of operational, intelligence,
\nand ICT-based apparatus to stem the tide of crimes
\nand criminalities in Nigeria. Some of these include:<\/p>\n
The maximization of the Force Intelligence Bureau
\nIntelligence Response Team (FIB-IRT) and the
\nSpecial Tactical Squad (FIB-STS).<\/p>\n
The \u2018NPF Rescue Me\u2019, an Application for
\nemergency response at the tap of a button. This
\napp which can be downloaded from playstore, is
\navailable on both android and ios.<\/p>\n
#<\/p>\n
VIDEO OF NPF RESCUE ME APP<\/p>\n
#<\/p>\n
(13)
\nSimilarly, NPF Crime and Incident Database Centre has also
\nbeen commissioned, to handle registration of valuable items. This
\naid recovery in the event of loss. It equally provides a platform to
\nconfirm an item\u2019s ownership.<\/p>\n
(14)
\nFurthermore, the Interpol Cybercrime Reporting platform at
\nincb.npf.gov.ng is available 24\/7 for the reportage of cybercrime
\nrelated complaints. This includes all offences provided for by the
\nCybercrime Act, 2015, including the production and distribution of
\nchild pornography.<\/p>\n
(15)
\nThe Interpol cybercrime unit is also empowered to mitigate
\npossible cyber attacks like the 2019 attack on INEC cyber facilities.
\nThis unwholesome affront was mitigated by the NPF Interpol cyber
\nunit. This Unit has become very important following the
\nsophistication of cyber domain, being an invisible domain where
\nattack can be launched on critical national infrastructure such as
\nfinancial institutions, power, transportation, energy, gas etc<\/p>\n
#<\/p>\n
(16) ON 20TH OCTOBER, 2022, A MEMORANDUM OF
\nUNDERSTANDING ON PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITY FOR
\nINTERPOL IN NIGERIA WAS SIGNED WITH THE INTERNATIONAL
\nCRIMINAL POLICE ORGANISATION (INTERPOL) THIS WILL
\nENHANCE THE OPERATIONS OF INTERPOL IN NIGERIA BY
\nREDUCING TRANSNATIONAL BORDER CRIMES AND ASSIST IN
\nTHE IMPORTATION OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY FOR BOTH
\nMILITARY AND PARAMILITARY AGENCIES IN THE COUNTRY.
\nTHIS IS PART OF GOVERNMENT\u2019S EFFORTS AT ELICITING
\nINTERNATIONAL SUPPORT AGAINST CRIMINALITIES IN NIGERIA
\nTO CREATE CONDUCIVE ENVIROMENT FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
\nAND REALIZATION OF PRESIDENT BUHARI\u2019S PROMISE TO LIFT
\n100 MILLION NIGERIANS OUT OF POVERTY<\/p>\n
