The newly appointed Commissioner of Police in Ekiti state, Michael Adegoroye Falade, Tuesday pledged to stamp out crimes and other vices to ensure a safe and secure environment for residents across the state.
In his maiden press conference held at the Police headquarters along Old Iyin Road, Ado-Ekiti, the commissioner assured residents that under his leadership, Ekiti would witness improved security architecture where citizens can go about their lawful activities without fear or intimidation.
He stated that effective policing cannot be achieved in isolation, stating the need for strong collaboration with sister security agencies, local vigilantes, community leaders and other critical stakeholders. He noted that such synergy remains key to safeguarding lives and property.
The police boss stated that intelligence-led policing is a major strategy in tackling crime, urging residents to be proactive in sharing useful information.
He said, “When you see something, say something,” adding that information could be channeled not only to the police but also through credible mediums such as traditional rulers and journalists.
He further encouraged community-based security consciousness, while calling on residents to know their neighbours and remain vigilant at all times.
He noted that criminal elements often thrive where there is lack of community cooperation.
CP Falade assured that the command would uphold the rule of law at all times, warning that violation of human rights would not be tolerated under any circumstance.
