“For community policing, you are aware of the Ibom Community Watch. We are raising them to enhance community policing, and we trust that they will continue to do the work by giving you adequate information.
“Currently, we are trying to ensure that there is at least one in every village so that they can help particularly to monitor government facilities in those villages,” he added.
Governor Eno congratulated CP Azare on his promotion and posting to the state, as well as other newly promoted officers, saying, “I am ready to work with you. This we have always done, even in your days as Deputy Commissioner (Operations).
“So we look forward to that continuous and symbiotic relationship with the leadership of the Nigeria Police as we continue to serve the Akwa Ibom people.”
Speaking earlier, CP Azare appreciated the Governor for his support for security agencies in the state, saying he is committed to collaborating with other security agencies to ensure that peace and security in the state are maintained.
