    This information should have been made available to the general public when these offices where created! How do the Nigeria Police expect to be contacted in case of emergency?

    These numbers are too long to dial especially in case of emergency!!! In most countries the maximum number of digits to dial is 3 (three) such as 911 in the United States. So, establish a 911 emergency number in Cross River State!!!

    The Nigeria Police should establish a central command office where all calls go to and from where the calls are immediately redirected to the appropriate area command by pressing just a button. Also, a recording of all calls placed to the control center should be made and preserved for use if needed in the future for whatever reason and to train staff. Those working in the control center need not be Policemen/women.

    I urge those in charge to emulate best practices in other countries.

      “…. in her effort to render quality service delivery in this ember months …”

      Should you not be rendering “quality service delivery” at ALL times?
      Why is this press release sent to only select places?
      What is “ember months”?
