The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has officially introduced the upgraded electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR), a pioneering information system aimed at fortifying the safety and security of Nigerian citizens. This innovative initiative is set to bolster law enforcement capabilities, marking a significant stride towards safeguarding the welfare of the populace.

The e-CMR, a comprehensive system, seeks to streamline vehicle registration processes with the primary objective of enhancing national security measures. Upon full activation, it promises rapid and efficient tracking of stolen vehicles, substantially increasing the prospects of recovery. This system will maintain an accurate and updated database of registered vehicles, thereby aiding in the prevention and investigation of vehicle-related crimes, including cases of kidnapping and fraudulent “one-chance” activities. Moreover, the e-CMR is designed to prevent the re-registration of stolen vehicles, providing an additional layer of security and dissuading criminal elements from engaging in such illegal activities.

Individuals and corporate entities can easily register for the e-CMR by visiting the official website at [https://cmris.npf.gov.ng](https://cmris.npf.gov.ng). The registration process is user-friendly, encouraging residents to take advantage of its convenience by completing the registration from the comfort of their homes.

The Inspector-General of Police extends appreciation to the public for their cooperation in this critical initiative. He underscores the NPF’s commitment to public welfare, highlighting the e-CMR, along with other police-designed applications like Rescue Me App and Police VGS, as essential tools in achieving this objective. Addressing concerns about the enforcement of e-CMR, the Police assures a professional approach with adequate notice provided for registration by both individuals and corporate bodies. They urge everyone to spread awareness about the e-CMR for a safer and more secure Nigeria.
