In line with the security advocacy and stakeholder engagement efforts led by Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, under the State Policing Model, the Police Community Policing Committee (PCPC) aims to integrate all security outfits for harmonized intelligence sharing. On August 6, 2024, CP Itam held a meeting with Vigilante Groups and other security outfits in Nnewi North at the Local Government Secretariat Headquarters.
