The Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Dr Solomon Arase, has promised to punish police officers involved in misconducts.
The retired Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Arase said this when he received in audience the national leadership of the Police Community Relations Committee(PCRC) where he pledged to work in partnership with the Inspector General of Police to reinvigorate the Nigeria Police Force for better performance.
This was made known in a statement on Friday by Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, noting that he was worried over the increasing cases of human rights abuses in the Police.
He said benefits and burden must go together, stressing that he will strive to complement what the Police is currently doing to ensure that the operations of the Police must conform with its rules of engagement.
The PSC Chairman said the police have no reason to go into land matters or debt collection, issues that should be handled through alternative dispute resolution, adding that he will remain a strong advocate of community partnership in policing.
Arase noted that for the police to excel in its day-to-day operations, there must be consequences for misconduct and benefits for exemplary behaviour.
