The IGP challenged the senior officers to redouble their crime-fighting efforts, respond to incidents in a timely and decisive manner, and maintain a robust presence in communities. He further emphasised the importance of proactive measures and urged all officers to be vigilant in anticipating and responding to potential threats, stressing the need for the Force to stay ahead of criminal elements by employing intelligence-driven strategies and leveraging advancements in technology to enhance crime-fighting capabilities.  


The conference concluded with a renewed commitment from all senior officers to implement the directives of the IGP and work collaboratively to enhance the overall effectiveness of the Nigeria Police Force in maintaining law and order.
