A new security strategy known as " visibility policing "is to be initiated in all the states in the country including the Federal Capital Territory.   This is to ensure the presence of officers and men of the police at strategic locations across the country.

The Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of zone Nine, Umuahia,   Usman Gwary, announced this when he paid a courtesy visit to the Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano at the governor's lodge Amawbia.
Mr. Gwary, who said he was on an inspection tour of commands under the zone, explained that part of his visit to the state was  to sensitize officers and men of the police in the area on the need to shun
corruption and be civil in their affairs.

The AIG noted that modalities had been worked out to beef up security in the country through robust and enhanced patrol, continuous raid of criminal hideouts and intelligence gathering.

Mr. Gwary while stating that Anambra State was at the fore front of the visibility policing initiative said that the police intended to replicate same in the remaining states in the country.

The Assistant Inspector General of Police who acknowledged the partnership between the police and
communities in the state in the maintenance of peace and order, commended the state government for the success recorded in the security sector.
