The Anambra State of Commissioner of Police, Nnanna Oji Ama, has vowed to strengthen intelligence gathering, technology-driven policing and community partnerships to make the state safer.
He made the vow while journalists for the first time on Monday immediately after he assumed office as the new CP.
While commending officers, other sister security agencies and residents for their support in maintaining peace and public safety in the State, the new CP outlined his policing agenda to include a comprehensive review of strategies and operations.
Other key priorities include strengthening intelligence gathering, intelligence-led, technology-driven policing, improving operational efficiency and proactive crime prevention.

“Our objective is clear—to make Anambra State safer, more secure and more peaceful for every resident and visitor,” he stated.
Ama who called for partnership and vigilance, urged members of the media to ensure “factual, balanced and responsible” reporting in the interest of public safety.
He, therefore, appealed to residents of the State to remain law-abiding, vigilant and security-conscious, and to volunteer information to the police.
“I appeal to members of the public not to hesitate to report suspicious persons, activities or incidents to the nearest Police Station or through our designated emergency channels.
“Anambra State is blessed with industrious, resilient and enterprising people whose immense potential can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace, law and order. The Police Command under my leadership is fully committed to creating and sustaining that enabling environment.
“Together, through unity of purpose, mutual trust and collective responsibility, we shall build a safer, more secure and more prosperous Anambra State,” he concluded.
