In a goodwill message, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Janet Agbede who disclosed that the modus operandi of crime prevention is not static maintained that it is in view of this that Governor Ikpeazu, after consultation with stakeholders rolled out the programme. She said that the launch will lead to a more pragmatic security network involving all stakeholders as well as ensure effective policing in the State.
