Police Elevate 352 Inspectors To ASP, Charge Officers On Discipline, Professionalism

The Police Command in Enugu State has decorated 352 police officers newly promoted from the rank of Inspector to Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP II).

The Inspectors were recently promoted to ASP II by the Police Service Commission on the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Police.

The officers qualified for the promotion following a recently concluded Departmental Selection Board (DSB) screening conducted at the Zone 13 Police Zonal Command of the Nigeria Police Force, Ukpo in Anambra.

Addressing the newly decorated officers on Wednesday in Enugu, the state’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mamman Giwa, charged them to justify their elevation to the rank of a superior police officer through discipline, dedication, and professionalism.

The commissioner warned that any act of omission or commission in the discharge of their duties would be treated seriously.

He further reminded them that they are required to complete a two-year probationary period with unblemished records before their promotion to the substantive rank of ASP is confirmed.

The state police boss congratulated the newly-decorated officer on their elevation and new rank.

In a vote of thanks delivered on behalf of the newly-promoted officers, ASP Abuchi Ugwuagu thanked the Inspector-General of Police for recommending them and the Police Service Commission for approving their promotion.

Ugwuagu assured the police leadership of their commitment to live up to expectations and to discharge their duties diligently.

Among the newly-promoted ASPs included: Augustine Michael, the Commissioner of Police’s official driver; Chukwu Sunday of the State CID; and Sylvester Anamali, Pius Umushike, and Akuabata Nnamchi of the Police Public Relations Department.

The ceremony was attended by members of the Command’s Management Team, Divisional Police Officers, other senior officers, as well as spouses, family members, and friends of the newly-promoted officers.
