The Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, CP Adamu Bakori, has said that Community Policing has, since his assumption of office, helped in curtailing serious criminal activities that had bedevilled the State.
CP Adamu made this known while unveiling activities lined up to mark the 2026 Police Day, with a strong focus on community engagement, public safety, and trust-building.
The Police Commissioner Ibrahim Dikko said it is a demonstration of police commitment to address security challenges and improve the quality of life of the residents.
He said while commending the Kano People for their cooperation with the Security, that the support the Police enjoyed helped them in entrenching Community Policing, thereby freeing the State of so many Criminals.
The Command announced that this year’s celebration, themed “Community Partnership: Building Trust,” will feature a week-long series of programmes designed to bridge the gap between officers and the public.
The event, held annually in honour of the Nigeria Police Force, will see personnel embark on environmental sanitation exercises across key locations, medical outreach, a live radio programme, Interaction with students of the Northwest University, and a football match, all aimed at supporting the communities.
In a move to boost visibility and unity, officers are also scheduled to participate in a coordinated walkathon, symbolising closer ties with residents and reinforcing public confidence in policing efforts.
The Command, the commissioner said, will further intensify public sensitisation campaigns, focusing on the prevention of electoral violence and other crimes, while also commending the residents for their complementary role in the fight against crime in the state.
The activities will culminate in a grand national finale slated for April 7, 2026, in Abuja.
CP Bakori reassured the residents of the Command’s unwavering dedication to maintaining peace and security across the state, stressing that effective policing thrives on sustained collaboration with the public.
The Command has also called on citizens to actively participate in the events, describing the celebration as not just a commemoration, but a renewed call for unity in the fight against crime.
