the existing relationship between members of the public and the

police During the tour, I made it known to all stake holders, that

partnership with the police is key, as the police will not be able to do it alone.  I also solicited for timely and credible information as it  will go a long way in helping the police to proactively stop and

prevent crime".

review, is due to re-enforced/pro-active anti-crime strategies in the

peaceful and safer Delta State. I assure you all that policing under my watch will be a responsible one in accordance with the dictates of the laws and respect to the fundamental human right of the citizens"
