Nwabueze acknowledged the importance of providing functional infrastructure for security agencies, noting that support for police facilities could strengthen the operational environment in which officers discharge their responsibilities.

He also reaffirmed the commitment of Ukpo and other Dunukofia communities to maintaining a cordial and productive relationship with the police, assuring the DPO and his officers that residents would continue to cooperate with security agencies and support legitimate efforts to protect lives and property.

According to him, security remains a collective responsibility that requires sustained engagement, mutual trust and purposeful collaboration between the police and the communities they serve.

He pledged that Ukpo community would continue to support security initiatives, provide credible information to assist crime prevention and encourage residents to remain law-abiding and security-conscious.

Nwabueze expressed optimism that stronger cooperation between the police and community stakeholders would consolidate the prevailing atmosphere of peace in the area, improve public confidence and create a safer environment for social and economic development.

He emphasised that community policing remained essential to crime prevention, intelligence gathering, conflict resolution and the early identification of potential security threats.

He therefore urged traditional institutions, community leaders, youths and other stakeholders to maintain open channels of communication with the police and promptly report credible information that could help prevent criminal activities.

The community leader also highlighted police welfare as a critical factor in improving operational effectiveness, officers’ morale and service delivery.

He encouraged stakeholders to provide the necessary support to enable officers to perform their duties effectively, noting that adequately supported personnel would be better positioned to respond to security concerns and build productive relationships with members of the public.

Nwabueze commended officers and men of the Dunukofia Division for their dedication, courage and vigilance in maintaining law and order and safeguarding residents and their property.

He also praised the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu Rilwan; the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 13, AIG Miller Gajere Dantawaye; and the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, for their respective roles in strengthening security, professionalism and public confidence in policing.

He urged officers of the Dunukofia Division to remain steadfast in their constitutional responsibilities, uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism, respect citizens’ rights and discharge their duties with fairness and dedication.

Nwabueze maintained that sustained collaboration between the police and community stakeholders, alongside continued support for security infrastructure and personnel welfare, would be vital to preserving peace and protecting lives and property across Dunukofia.
