The newly deployed Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Patrick Daor.

The newly deployed Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Patrick Daor, on Monday vowed to ensure that residents of the state are treated with respect by operatives of the command under his leadership.

Daor spoke when his predecessor, now Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Monday Agbonika, officially handed over the command to him at the state police headquarters in Benin.

The new CP also vowed to intensify the command’s crime-fighting strategies by fine-tuning existing approaches, while building on the successes recorded under his predecessor.

“More importantly, I will ensure that every policeman has respect for every citizen of this state. We will work towards winning more of the trust of the good people of this state. And we will maintain a very open-door policy.
