Egbetokun approves standard uniform for spy police
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has approved a standardised uniform and kits for Supernumerary Police, popularly known as Spy Police.
The approval aims to enhance the professionalism and visibility of these officers.
Speaking at the unveiling of the new kits on Tuesday, Egbetokun, represented by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Finance and Administration, Bala Ciroma, directed all police training schools to adopt the new uniform issuance model for Spy Police personnel.
“In accordance with the Police Act 2020, and as part of our initiatives to revitalise SPY operations across the country, we engaged Messrs Synveego Nigeria Limited to undertake the standardisation and redesigning of SPY uniforms,” he said.
Egbetokun said that the new uniforms are designed to ensure that spy police officers present a professional and well-groomed image.
The move also aims to prevent the abuse and misuse of regular police uniforms by ensuring Supernumerary Police officers are distinctly dressed.
“We are delighted to unveil a meticulously crafted design endorsed by the Force Management Team. I am therefore most delighted to formally relaunch the new standardised SPY uniform and kits,” he added.
The IG also mandated that all organisations utilising Spy Police personnel strictly adhere to the new standardised uniforms.
He further stated that the Force Quartermaster and personnel across the states would guide the registration and acquisition of the new uniforms, and that all police training schools have been instructed to adopt the new uniform issuance model for SPY Police personnel.
