MODERN POLICING: IGP LAUNCHES ‘SMARTFORCE’ DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR DIGITALIZATION OF PERSONNEL RECORDS

Commences Training of Officers for Decentralized Upload of Personnel Data

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc(+), NPM, NEAPS, fdc, CFR, has launched the ‘IGP-SmartForce Database Management Centre’ today Wednesday 1st February, 2023, for Personnel Records Digitalization and Biometric Capturing of all officers of the Nigeria Police Force to ensure that all officers have their details captured and stored for record purposes and to ease administrative bottlenecks, create ease in tracking postings/transfers, and issue Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Cards for personnel identification.

The SmartForce with Storage Servers domiciled in the Nigeria Police Force National Command and Control Centre (NPF-C4i) facilities and SmartForce office, Office of the Force Secretary in the Force Headquarters, Abuja, is aimed at integrating the Force into an ICT-Based System to simplify the management of its personnel records, manage the entire workforce of the Nigeria Police Force, uniquely manage/identify each personnel of the Force and is structured with modern technological concepts to monitor the distribution of personnel workforce and access across the country. The system will aid the office of the Force Secretary in planning for the deployment of personnel in the Force, budgetary-related issues, tracing/identification of Police personnel, and retrieval of records as it relates to serving and retired Police personnel.

The IGP has equally flagged off the practical training of Police Public Relations Officers (PPROs) and ICT Officers from the 36 State Commands and the FCT at the Force Headquarters on handling and use of the gadgets provided for data capturing of all personnel including a modernized hi-tech biometric machine with unique features like Fingerprint scanner, 2D Scanner, and Smart Facial Recognition application.

While reiterating his vision for a Police driven by the integration of cutting-edge technology, the Inspector-General of Police has ordered a total overhaul of the former system and a swift commencement of the digitalization process across all Commands and Formations of the Force for timeous upgrade and operation of the system.

I remembered the other thread some time ago..
About the Digitisation of the Police Operations.


E be like say them don read the thread finish ooo.

..
But then,, someone argued that the digitisation and gadgets is not the problem..
But the character of the officers themselves

Tk4radi..
Come and see your comment at work..
They don dey apply your brain small small..

tk4radi:
But then...
In my own little contribution to this....

This cannot work effectively IF THE NIGERIAN POLICE DOESN'T HAVE A UNIFIED DATABASE SYSTEM which serves for the whole of the Police Operations in the country.



I think the Nigerian Police should have a unified database across the whole nation.

So that someone cannot come to one station and report someone, and then, the same person that was reported against (in the first station) would carry the same matter to another station with a slightly distorted narrative, and yet, the second station wouldn't be aware that such a case was already pending in another station.

The Nigerian Police should streamline all their database and data-management systems, and make it unified, and then, allow it to be updated in real-time.



Then again:......
The Nigerian Police should also have access to the NIMC’s NIN-Numbers database, and BVN, and INEC’s VIN-Numbers database, so that people's identities can be verified properly and also cross-verified when necessary..

The Nigerian Police are supposed to have all the necessary security by-pass to all the possible available identity-management data-base systems in Nigeria, including BVN, NIMC-NIN, NCC, FRSC, TIN, NHIS, NPC, INEC-VIN, PASSPORT-NUMBER etc., and be able to cross-check data from any of them in order to get out every possible information that pertains to the identification of individuals, which would give them further leads in their investigations.

But here we are in Nigeria, we have a very docile police system who doesn't even have the slightest access to any privileged information or intelligence.

Even the banks have by-pass access to run checks on customers’ INEC-VIN, NIMC-NIN, FRSC-LICENCE, AND PASSPORTS.
But our police doesn't have any, which is very very baadd.


THEN,, For the sake of privacy policy, and for the Protection of private information of the citizens, the by-pass granted to the police for the checks should be regulated, and be fully official and formal, and ANY of such checks made on any of the data-base portals would be properly lodged against the logon-identity of the officer who conducted the check as well as that of the team-leader who authorised the checks, including the file-number of the case-file for which the check was done.

Thus, the results of any single data-base checks should have the logon-identity of the officer who ran the check and that of the officer who authorised for the checking to be done, the title of the case-file and file-number, and a brief description for the need of the check..

This would minimise unauthorized checking of people's private information by compromised or unauthorized police officers, for unauthorised purposes.

Noted.

Good development.

Shit that won't work or be useful.
Ask how much was budgeted for the database creation

Nice....very needful because they're all part time criminals.

If to sey una get sense, na to first create database for the Nigeria citizens, if una ready to fight crime.

A country where anyone can commit crime and get away with it, that one na country?

abeg make una Dey calm down.

Na today?
Same way the devil launched ‘Smartforce’ Database Management System against satan.

How to abuse and misuse this good innovation is what some officers will be thinking of right now.

Starboytwo:
abeg make una Dey calm down.

Aswearrr, my body dey hot.
I fuxn hate the police or anything about them.

Them don launch Police unit for the monitoring of electoral process come february 25th...

Them just dey use grammar make Tinubu and him urchins no begin dey vibrate again.

Nigeria police I laugh in Togo version 75 voice

Time wasters, abeg make una do finish una calamitous tenure and pack your looting bags and go somewhere in your hometowns and rot forever to be forgotten since una swore never to do the right things that will improve life for all Nigerians. Criminals want to tell us about database, looting database
