 The new Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, in charge of Zone 3 Command says the trust deficit between the Nigerian Police and the public must be broken as a key strategy to bring about a robust intelligence gathering. The new AIG said this at the Zone 3 Command headquarters in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, where he has rather officially resumed duty. Daniel Pedro is the new Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 3 Yola, for Adamawa and Turaba States. He says the police must position itself in a manner where there is public trust which will aid the fight against crime. The new AIG said security strategies will be updated as every police formation will be reactivated to tackle crime. He says Adamawa and Turaba State will no longer be a safe haven for kidnappers and criminals. He calls on residents of Adamawa and Turaba States to cooperate with the Nigerian Police by giving them useful information that will help trace criminal hideouts. I am going to be a synergy between the stakeholders and the police. I want to break that trust deficit between the police and the public so that if anybody is free to walk down to the city, anybody is free to walk down to me and give me information in confidence. Before his deployment as the new Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 3 Yola, Daniel Sokari Pedro was the Deputy Commandant, Nigerian Police Academy, Woody, in Cano State. I am going to be a synergy between the police and the public so that if anybody is free to walk down to the city, anybody is free to walk down to me and give me information in confidence.
