The Commissioner of Police in Ogun, Mr Lanre Ogunlowo has encouraged newly recruited constables to uphold professionalism in discharging their duties and shun practices that are inimical to the service.
Mr Ogunlowo made the call during the passing out of constables held at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The Commissioner of Police who emphasized the need for the newly recruited officers to ensure the protection of fundamental human rights of citizens said any unethical practices such as extortion and bribery would not be tolerated, adding that corruption undermined public trust and the integrity of the force.
Mr Ogunlowo advised the officers to familiarize themselves with the Police Act and Regulations and exhibit good conduct in all engagements, noting that their actions would play a crucial role in shaping public perception of the Nigeria Police Force.
He pointed out that the constables would be deployed to strategic locations to strengthen the security apparatus and address manpower shortages in their respective Areas of Responsibility.
Mr Ogunlowo reaffirmed the commitment of the Ogun State Police command to building a professional, disciplined, and people-friendly police force to enhance security and public trust in the State.
