The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has cautioned his men against brute force in the discharge of their duties, saying modern policing rather requires the deployment of intellect, respect for extant laws, civility to citizens, knowledge, and sound professional judgement.

“The recommendation and approval of the elevation of these seasoned senior Police Officers were in due appreciation of their history of professional excellence, loyalty, zeal and invaluable experience. That their promotion was guided by the principles of seniority and merit are also a clear testimony to the new focus of my leadership in relation to promotion policy.

“This leadership focus was influenced by my conviction that no organization can advance beyond the capacity, dedication and competence of its strategic leaders, neither can any organizational vision and plans be attained without a crop of highly committed personnel to drive the implementation process.

“In order to sustain this achievement, some of you, the newly promoted officers, shall be deployed to critical policing posts where your strength of character and professionalism shall be optimally tested. In the discharge of your duties, however, you should appreciate that modern policing is no longer driven by application of brute force, but the deployment of intellect, respect for extant laws, civility to citizens, knowledge, and sound professional judgement.
