The only way to effectively fight crimes is to be smarter than the criminals. It’s no news that our police is one of the most unattractive in the world despite huge financial investments by the government and other cooperate organizations. That’s not to say that the police is completely backward, no. At least I’m aware our police have started tracking stolen phones and stolen cars mounted with GPS trackers among other little things. These baby steps are commendable but we can do more. These equipment can help save lives of policemen, fight crimes more effectively and they are already been used in other countries. Please don’t say Nigeria is not ready for such technology, when are we going to be ready?

1. Body cameras:




There’s so much allegations against the police that it’s men are abusing their powers. To curtail abuse of powers by the Nigerian policemen, the police have tried the little they can by providing channels to report such officers but despite that, these crimes still happen everyday. The only way the public has decided to fight this is to record with their smartphones from afar and post on social media and pray the video trends enough to get attention of the police headquarters. Body cameras will greatly reduce such abuse of power by the police and provide complete transparency so everyone can see exactly what transpired between the officers and the victims. It can also refute false claims against the officers and can be used to record victims statements as evidence in court. These cameras can record high resolution videos even at night and can be attached to their uniforms, helmets and also transmit to the police headquarters . Yesterday some policemen were shot in Abuja by unknown gunmen, if those officers had body cams, the gunmen would have been known.

2. Robotic camera:




Stories of our policemen running away during gun-battles is so rampant that the public has almost lost confidence in their abilities to combat crime, but you can’t blame them. The job is risky enough. Imagine if there’s a robbery operation going on and instead of policemen going directly into the line of fire, a robotic camera being remotely operated is sent to run surveillance on the crime scene and detect their hideout while the policemen can operate from a safe distance. This will save lives of policemen on such a dangerous crime scene. On eBay, you can find it cheap. Human life is certainly worth more than this toy.

3. Automatic Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR):




The only reason this will not really work in Nigeria is lack of appropriate database system, the technology is a simple one. It’s just a software and a dashboard camera on the police car, run the plate number through the police criminal database records and identify the owner of the car in seconds, simple! This technology has helped police is other countries recover countless stolen cars, arrest wanted suspects etc. No need for stop and search or unnecessary harassment, mounting roadblocks and causing traffic. It can be used to identify stolen cars, gather intelligence, track movements of criminals etc. The 150 GAC cars top industrialist Mr. Dangote donated to the police would have been perfect for this job !

4. Camera equipped Drones:




It is also called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) .If Nigerian churches are flying drones and using it to cover their events, why can’t the police use this technology. It’s not even a new technology, its been around for years. It helps to put the policemen out of harms way, It helps the police get a better view of a crime scene especially where it is too risky or chaotic to approach. You can see them but they can’t see you. It can also be used for search and rescue of kidnapped victims, aerial survey, and much more. There’s nothing wrong if Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and middle-belt states are assigned 20 drones each while other states are assigned 10 each.

5. Customized Tablets




Instead of police recording statements with pieces of papers or 40 leaves exercise books, Officers can use customized tablets to record their initial information from a crime scene, take statement from witnesses, and take pictures of a crime scene into the tablets and upload it wirelessly straight into the police server, looking up photos of suspects and accessing information in a state crime database. It will help build an accurate database for the police and help better investigation. Also there are a lot of Apps that can be installed into the tabs that will help police fight crime better examples include fingerprint, facial recognition softwares and so on.

6. High Tech Assault rifles:




Why will our police be carrying out-dated AK 47 wrapped with cellotape in 2018? And you expect them not to run away in the face of superior fire-power, impossible. The armory of the Nigerian police should be fill with assorted automatic rapid rifles such as the Uzi, Famas, latest model AK-47,Heckler & Koch G36 etc This will not only boost their confidence but that of the general public.

Great and lovely thread.
Nice gadgets.
Good technology.
The question is 'how many decades will it take our Police to be this savvy and techy?'

we need to start now. No time to waste

You are on point bro.

exactly. Thanks a lot

TechCapon:
exactly. Thanks a lot

#RESPECT.
Great, clear thread from you man!
Keep it up!

I agree with you on many of this.... We need an up to date database of citizen even more!

My brother wake up and face reality... Its never going to happen.

If they Assault u with d rifle u would start complaining

Wait, which Nigerian Police ? This one or another ?

This is only going to happen between the year 2069 and above by then the world have moved far away from there.. Then we I'll still be @ the bottom..

This is Nigeria.. We should get used to these

If you give Nigerian police all of these, they'll go sell them and pocket the money.

Thank God you said Nigerian police because what we have is Nigeria Police Force

Op this dream is too much na. Abeg wake up quick quick.

Lol. These will only be effective if there is truth and trustworthiness.

CHANGE IN ORIENTATION, ATTITUDE AND TRAINING AND RETRAINING AND INTAKE OF NEW BLOOD TO DOMINATE THE FORCE FIRST.

The Nigerian police will not like the camera that will show all their evil atrocities .

[b][/b]QUALITY TECH......BUT FOR NIGERIANS POLICE

Mr dreamer, abeg wake up jo. Even if the fed. Govt releases fund for that, u go just hear say one "Dasuki" chop al d money.

Shey na sars whey dey kidnap people wan use body camera.

Abi na police whey dey tear their name and number comot from their uniform go come dey use am?

Op your list is too advanced for the Nigerian police, save for better assault rifles. Nigeria’s police force should be equipped with non lethal options (pepper sprays, tasers, stun guns) to replace their batons.

High Tech Assault Riffle Ke?

The den guns we gave them are used to kill innocent Nigerians, Abeg before they'll release accidental discharge on a whole street......

not in nigeria

Impossibility is nothing.

Nothing is impossible.

They can't for now, not with an IG that can't use an Android phone effectively and keep transmiting all the time, but when the likes of Abba Kyari become the IG, then such innovations can come into being.
When young thug people attains leadership innovations become a norm.

It will never happen..

I see people complain about naija police.. Everything is wrong with the country.

To fix it, we need to restructure it. The recruitment processes in police is faulty.

The idea of federal character is faulty and to end this, we need to end the current system of govt so that only the best hands are recruited.

Then we need to fix the pay system of not just police, every sector because corruption in universities also affects the police.

Take for example, a police man has a son in the university and the lecturers are demanding money for books here and there and sorting here and there.. The boy will pass the entire burden on his father.. His father who earns little will be so incompetent and will try to be corrupt to meet up the needs of his son.


We need to fix the entire structure called Nigeria.. It is not working, it will never work not even 360 days of dry fasting can make it work if we don't change this system.
