NPF's Digital CMR: Protecting Your Vehicles and
Strengthening Law Enforcement

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) plays a crucial role in safeguarding our nation, protecting lives and property, and ensuring law and order. As the lead agency in internal security and law enforcement, the NPF has recognized the evolving challenges posed by vehicular crimes and the pressing need for effective solutions.

To grapple with vehicular crimes, the Central Motor Registry (CMR) was established over 60 years ago, to maintain motor vehicle information. However, the rising sophistication of vehicular crimes demands a modernized and expanded approach. Hence, the Force revitalized the CMR by digitalizing it to conform with the realities of digital age policing.

The digitalization of the Central Motor Registry (CMR) by the Nigeria Police Force brings forth numerous advantages and benefits to the general populace:

1. Enhanced Security: With a digitalized CMR in place, citizens can have greater confidence in the security of their vehicles. Accurate and real-time vehicle information will assist in the prevention and swift resolution of vehicular crimes, ensuring that citizens' assets are safeguarded.

2. Efficient Law Enforcement: The Police will be better equipped to enforce laws related to motor vehicles, such as registration and licensing. This will lead to safer roads and improved traffic management, benefiting all road users.

3. Crime Deterrence: The comprehensive database of motor vehicles will serve as a deterrent to potential criminals who might use vehicles for illegal activities. The knowledge that law enforcement has access to accurate information can discourage criminal behavior.

4. Expedited Investigations: In cases of accidents or disputes involving motor vehicles, the digitalized CMR will expedite investigations, providing quick resolution and reducing inconvenience for citizens.

5. National Security: The ability of the Force to maintain accurate vehicular information contributes to national security. It ensures that vehicles associated with criminal activities can be tracked and addressed promptly.

This is an exercise in futility. You can not secure a vehicle that you have not seen or inspected. I did an insurance check on a car that hit me in traffic Wednesday and it was a Chrysler Stratus but on the data it was a Toyota Camry that appeared. Same color but different vehicle. So if you have such Data and the car is missing after it was registered on your database, which car will you be looking for? Until all agencies are located at the same location, it is business as usual. Since the CMR scam where 10 cars were issued with 1 receipt of 1k, not one car has ever been recovered through the CMR.

Totally agree with you...
The data collected by the vehicle licensing office should suffice and be made available to the police at source.

There is no point duplicating documents.

The police do not even see the vehicles nor the plate numbers before this cmr is issued.

So where is the security they are claiming?

I have seen where Toyota hiace is recorded as SUV in the insurance portal. We need to understudy other countries on the mode of vehicle administration.
