IGP orders criminal database update, inaugurates new police team.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, on Monday formally inaugurated the newly restructured Force Management Team (FMT) and directed the immediate update of the Police Force Criminal Database to enhance crime-fighting efforts.

The directive follows the appointment of six new Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (DIGs) to strengthen the administration and operations of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

Egbetokun reiterated his vision for a professionally competent, service-driven, and people-friendly Police Force that is well-positioned to combat contemporary crime challenges.

To support this, the IGP has ordered an immediate update of the Police Force Criminal Database, ensuring that it becomes a central tool in law enforcement and crime prevention.
