The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has called on parents across Nigeria to encourage their children and wards to join the Nigeria Police Force.
The IGP says the profession remains the most veritable platform to contribute to the path of national service.
This he said, on Thursday at the passing out parade of 374 newly recruited constables at Police Training, College, Oyin Akoko, Ondo State.
According to the IGP, the call was imperative to sustain the common vision for an efficient police force.
The IGP, who was represented by the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 17 Akure, AIG Y. M Akeera, said the force has a zero-tolerance for indiscipline and any act that may be at variance with police professionalism.

While admonishing the newly constables officers to not engage in any act unedifying of their good name, Akeera said they will be deployed to complement officers on the forthcoming election security duties across the nation to ensure a free, fair, and credible electoral process.
He, therefore, thanked the President, Mohammadu Buhari for his consistent commitment to repositioning the Force into a modern brand.
