The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has approved a standardised uniform and kits for Supernumerary Police, popularly known as Spy Police.
Egbetokun said the approval was to enhance the professionalism and visibility of Supernumerary Police officers.
Speaking at the unveiling of the kits on Tuesday, Egbetokun, who was represented by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Finance and Administration, DIG Bala Ciroma, ordered all Police Training Schools to adopt the new uniform issuance model for SPY Police personnel.
He said, “In accordance with the Police Act 2020, and as part of our initiatives to revitalise SPY operations across the country, we engaged Messrs Synveego Nigeria Limited to undertake the standardisation and redesigning of SPY uniforms.
“This was towards ensuring that our SPY personnel present a professional and well-groomed image commensurate with their responsibilities. Additionally, it was a step aimed at checkmating abuse and misuse of the regular Police uniforms and ensuring that our Supernumerary Police officers are uniquely dressed.”
Consequent upon the foregoing, Egbetokun narrated, “We are delighted to unveil today a meticulously crafted design endorsed by the Force Management Team.
“I am therefore most delighted to formally relaunch the new standardized SPY uniform and kits. As we relaunch these uniforms and kits, we mandate all organizations utilizing SPY Police personnel to strictly adhere to these new standardized uniforms.”
He further stressed that “The Force Quartermaster and personnel across the states will guide the registration and acquisition. All Police Training Schools are instructed to adopt the new uniform issuance model for SPY Police personnel.”
