The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Usman Baba has inaugurated a database to capture the biometric and records of all policemen in the country.

The Police “SmartForce” Database Management Centre was inaugurated by the I-G on Wednesday in Abuja.

He said the centre was to ensure proper and accurate records of personnel for easy tracking and deployment of personnel to operational areas.

Adejobi added that the idea was also to ease administrative bottlenecks.

According to him, the SmartForce with storage servers is domiciled in the Nigeria Police Force National Command and Control Centre.

The Force spokesman said the I-G also inaugurated ongoing training of Police Public Relations Officers and ICT personnel from 36 states and the FCT.

He explained that the training was on the handling of the gadgets provided for data capturing of all personnel.
