Every nation needs functioning and active police units to curb social vices and maintain orderliness in the nation's communities. However, in Nigeria the police units that are meant to protect the people and their rights turn out to be the one violating, molesting and killing the citizens in a crooked manner.

We have called on the government to End SARS, but ending SARS is not enough, we need to let the government know the kind of police unit we need. WE NEED POLICE REFORMATION! Below are some features we need in the nation's Police Force.

1. Every NPF personnel must appear in a decent official uniform not round-neck or T-shirt with "Police" inscription on it, not Ankara or Jean.... but a neat official uniform. Except CID members.

2. No NPF personnel must appear *rass*, dreads, talisman etc does not befit a police officer. We're tired of armed-robbers-looking police officers.

3. Every Police officer must carry a valid ID card and present it upon demand by the citizens when dispensing their services. We have right to know who is questioning us.

4. Every Police officer should be trained for minimum of 1 year before being allowed to carry guns or use tactical weapons. Enough of accidental discharge!

5. Police should be trained to be courteous in their approach to citizens. No harassment of unconvicted suspects, no slapping, no hitting until the citizens is condemned by a court of law. #EndPoliceBrutality.

6. Right to protest is a fundamental human right according to the Constitution, therefore deny the people right to peaceful protest is a violation of the Constitution. It must stop! No shooting of live bullets at protesters

7. Police Officers must be trained on the right of the people while in police school and be made to watch videos of developed countries policing style.

8. Bail must be completely FREE, except stated otherwise by a court of law.

9. Police Surveillance Unit should be established and discharged to monitor Police Officers' activities. It should be an undercover unit to bring to book officers that violate citizens rights.
