“We should be proactive, engage in vigorous crime-fighting, but be more professional in our coverage and patrols of vulnerable and perceived black spots across the state,” he said.

Mr Longe urged his subordinates to be up to speed with happenings of the festive season, when everything, especially crime, moves at break-neck speed.

He, however, said that strategic deployments have been made to thwart criminals from executing their enterprise.

He seized the opportunity to appeal to residents of the state to share information with the police, assuring that such information would be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

He also assured the general public of adequate security of lives, property.
