Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu says State Police will deepen community policing and improve intelligence gathering.
Disu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York on Friday that the initiative would boost community-based policing and improve intelligence gathering.
He, however, said implementation would involve extensive consultations, comparative studies and capacity building before full operationalisation.
“We are still at the teething stage. We need experience, education and comparative studies from jurisdictions already practising state police.”
He expressed confidence that state police would strengthen collaboration between federal and state security institutions.
