The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam on Tuesday, stepped up security advocacy to gather support and build more trust and confidence in Ndi Anambra for Police and Other security agencies in the State.
Angel Network News (ANN) gathered that
the security advocacy was born out of the quest of the Command to foster community engagement, encouraging individuals to take ownership of security and report suspicious activities.
It also aims to prevent security breaches, cyber-attacks and physical harm by promoting proactive measures, educate individuals and organizations on potential security risks, vulnerabilities, and best practices.
“Contribute to national security by promoting a culture of security awareness and responsibility. Facilitate collaboration among stakeholders, including governments, organizations and individuals.
“Help to reduce economic losses and protect investments. Promote a culture of security, encouraging individuals and organizations to prioritize security in their daily lives.
