The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of D Division, Bauchi, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Ahmed Mohammed Wakili, has continued his community engagement drive with a visit to the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) LCC Couch Railway within his jurisdiction.
The visit underscored the DPO’s commitment to community policing, safety, and inclusive engagement with residents as a strategy to curb crime and enhance public trust in the police.
Addressing members of the congregation, CSP Wakili appealed for their cooperation and support, stressing that effective security can only be achieved through collective efforts between the police and the community. He noted that timely information sharing and mutual trust are critical to maintaining peace and order.
The DPO also called on parents and guardians to closely monitor their children and wards, urging them to instill sound moral values to prevent involvement in criminal activities.
According to him, proactive parental guidance plays a vital role in shaping responsible citizens and securing the future of the community.
CSP Wakili reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to ensuring a crime-free environment across the division, assuring residents that the police would remain accessible, responsive, and professional in the discharge of their duties.
In their response, the pastor and members of the congregation expressed appreciation for the visit, describing it as reassuring and timely. They offered prayers for CSP Wakili’s success and pledged their full cooperation with the police in promoting peace, safety, and security within the community.
It could be recalled that the DPO had paid a similar visit to the Federal Low-cost Juma’at Mosque last Friday.
