Ondo State Police command has deployed 206 newly recruited men across the state for effective policing.

The two hundred and six newly recruited men are to assist in community policing in their various communities across the 51 divisions of the command.

While addressing the new recruits at the command headquarters in Akure, the commissioner of police in the state, Oyeyemi Oyediran, charged them to be good ambassadors of their families in the discharge of their duties.

The Police boss told them to be of good conduct and protect the image of the police at all times.

“You are expected to conduct yourselves in manners that will not bring the Nigerian police into disrepute. Whatever you do, as from today, will be seen as being done by policemen and not as your personal self.”

“We will not condone any criminal act and will never support any erring officer. So, you should all stay away from any untoward act as you are expected to be role models in the society.

“You are being deployed to your communities to help in securing them as we believe you already know the terrain, and this will help in improving community policing across the state.”
