The Anambra State Police Command has moved to tighten security around schools and other strategic locations across the state as pupils and students resume for the new academic session.
The deployment, carried out in line with the Inspector-General of Police’s Safe School Initiative, is being coordinated under the supervision of the Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, ACP Harrison Oruruo.
Police personnel, sister security agencies and other relevant stakeholders have been deployed to designated schools and strategic locations across the state to prevent security threats and ensure a safe learning environment.
The operation is aimed at strengthening security around educational institutions, sensitising pupils and students on personal safety, assisting school children with safe road crossing and providing other necessary policing services.
The Command said the exercise would also deepen collaboration among the Police, school authorities, teachers, parents, guardians, host communities and other stakeholders to facilitate early identification, prevention and prompt response to security threats.
Personnel deployed to the schools have been directed to maintain high-visibility presence, monitor activities within and around school environments, assist pupils and students, particularly during peak arrival and closing periods, and respond promptly to security concerns.
The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, psc, mnips, reiterated the Command’s commitment to protecting children, teachers, school authorities and other members of the school community.
Oji Ama urged school authorities, parents, guardians and students to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious persons, activities or emerging security concerns to the Police or other appropriate security agencies.
He stressed that security remains a shared responsibility, urging all stakeholders to maintain effective communication with security agencies and provide credible information that could facilitate timely intervention.
The Commissioner assured Ndi Anambra that the Command would continue to strengthen security visibility, intelligence-led policing, community engagement and proactive response around educational institutions across the state.
The Command wished pupils, students, teachers and other members of the school community a safe, peaceful and successful academic session.
