Delta State Police Command has established a Complaints Response Unit (CRU) to curb the excesses of Police officers.
The CRU is a department that will work directly under the supervision of the Police Public Relations Officer of the Command to checkmate the excesses and unprofessional conduct of the police officers operating in the state.
The establishment of the Unit by the Delta State Police Commissioner, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi is in line with the mandate of the Inspector General of Police IGP Kayode Egbetokun to all State Commissioners of Police to enforce his zero-tolerance for corruption, extortion, abuse of fundamental human rights of Nigerians, and other excesses of the Nigeria Police Force.
The spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe in a statement on Tuesday said, “The CP who understands the need to maintain the highest standards of professionalism in the organization, seeks to rectify any excesses or inappropriate behaviour demonstrated by the police officers and men of the command.
“On this note, the public can channel all complaints and relevant information on police actions either by visiting the CRU office at the Command Headquarters or by contacting any of the following phone numbers: 09155570008 | 09011112311 | 09064308018 | 09066575187; or via the social media handle: (X – Delta_PoliceCRU; FACEBOOK – DeltaNG CRU INSTAGRAM: @Delta_PoliceCRU); and the official email – deltapolicecru@gmail.com
“Summarily, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi while reaffirming his zero tolerance to the abuse of authorities, added that the IGP has shown an unwavering zeal to fight corruption and unprofessionalism, hence he will not hesitate to sanction any erring officer promptly.
“He further encourages the public to assist in efficiently curbing misconduct, excesses, and unprofessionalism among police officers in the State, by collaborating closely with the Police Command Complaint Response Unit.
