The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, during a courtesy visit by the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, engaged in discussions aimed at bolstering cooperation between ALGON and the Nigeria Police Force. The meeting focused on strategies to strengthen grassroots policing and address various challenges faced in ensuring effective participation by local governments in policing at the local level.

Discussions revolved around initiatives to address existing vacuums in policing and to ensure comprehensive coverage of policing activities across communities.

The Inspector General of Police, while welcoming ALGON's proactive approach, assured that the NPF under his watch is committed to fostering robust partnerships to enhance security and maintain law and order at all levels. He also noted that the Nigeria Police Force looks forward to the implementation of proposed initiatives and anticipates a fruitful partnership with ALGON in safeguarding communities and promoting peace and security across the nation.
