The workshop was convened to sensitise participants on the importance of the Suspects’ Information Capturing Process under the Nigeria Police Force Crime and Incident Database (NPF-ICD) Centre Project, a strategic initiative designed to enhance crime analysis, intelligence gathering, evidence-based investigations, inter-agency collaboration, and proactive crime prevention.

Speaking at the event, the Inspector-General noted that modern policing is increasingly driven by timely, accurate, and actionable data, stressing that effective law enforcement can no longer rely solely on conventional investigative methods. He emphasised that the Crime and Incident Database Centre represents a critical national policing asset capable of improving investigative outcomes, tracking criminal trends, identifying repeat offenders, linking crimes across jurisdictions, and supporting informed operational and strategic decision-making.

Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to the modernisation of policing through technology, innovation, and intelligence-led strategies, IGP Disu called for greater compliance with established suspects’ information capturing procedures across all Commands and Formations. He encouraged participants to actively engage in the workshop and develop practical solutions that will enhance operational efficiency and strengthen the Force’s crime management architecture.
