The Bauchi State Police Command has reiterated its commitment to eliminating violent crime and combating terrorism in the state by launching the Violent Crime Response Unit.
The state Commissioner of Police, Sani-Omolori Aliyu, made the pledge on Tuesday during the unit’s official inauguration in Bauchi.
Speaking on the theme, “Enhancing Accountability, Strengthening Public Trust and Promoting Professionalism in Policing,” the police commissioner said the establishment of the unit was aimed at addressing emerging security threats, particularly kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry, and related crimes.
According to him, the vision behind the initiative is to create a practical operational unit that works strictly within the law, respects human rights, relies on credible intelligence, and collaborates closely with communities.
He stressed that the new unit was not a rebranding of any former tactical formation but a fresh operational framework built on professionalism, discipline, accountability, and public confidence.
