Dr. Arase, at the interactive session, charged the officers to quickly settle down to their new ranks and go forth and win the war against banditry, kidnapping, and violent crimes in the country.

Arase said the nation is facing an avoidable, unprecedented wave of criminal assaults on all fronts and said the Commission is uncomfortable with the trend of events.

The PSC Chairman enjoined the officers to settle down and crime map their various areas of responsibility by being conversant with trends and patterns of crimes in their domain, and they should be able to engage in predictive policing to mitigate the current criminal disorders caused by criminal gangs now marauding across the length and breadth of the country.

As senior officers, he said they must be held responsible for any relapse in the security apparatus of the nation, adding that they must see their new ranks as a call to greater dedication to the service of their fatherland. “These promotions should further ignite the indomitable fighting spirit of the officers and men,” he admonished the newly promoted officers.
