“We have actively addressed instances of professional misconduct within our Command from January 2024 to date. 18 personnel have undergone internal disciplinary measures, demonstrating our dedication to maintaining high operational standards.
“This includes the dismissal of one Police Constable, rank reductions for four officers, issuance of warning letters to six personnel, and reprimands for four others,” he said.
Auwal added that the Complaint Response Unit (CRU) and the Police Public Relations Department played a critical role in addressing public complaints against the misconduct of the officers and men.
He said during this time frame, the command received 10 complaints, all of which were meticulously investigated, while the efforts culminated in the recovery of N784,000 from the implicated officers, which has been duly returned to the affected victims.
The commissioner stressed that the command remained steadfast in its commitment to continuing internal disciplinary procedures for personnel who do not uphold the established standards, thereby ensuring accountability and fostering continuous improvement in service delivery.
He pledged the command’s preparedness to further strategies to safeguard lives and property in 2025 while building upon the successes achieved in 2024.
He appreciated residents of Bauchi State and security agencies, quasi-security outfits, and traditional and religious institutions for their cooperation with the Nigeria Police Force and steadfast support in fostering a safer state.
The CP also commended Governor Bala Mohammed for his unwavering support and commitment to enhancing the operational capacity of the Police in the state.
