Since the assumption of office by Nnaghe Obono Itam as the 34th Commissioner, Anambra State Police Command, he has sustained advocacy for a Policing Plan that is Intelligence-driven, Technologically Supportive, and Tactically-led operations as he lectures.
On May 28, 2024, he took briefs from the eight Area Commanders, 53 Divisional Police Officers, Tactical Commanders, and Sectional Heads of the Command.
During the lecture, Itam reviewed the Policing Plan and provided a guide in some areas on personnel positioning that will be timely responsive in addressing the security service request of the people of the State.
He directed Officers to advance a strategy of community policing principles anchored on mutual trust, understanding, and partnership with the public, to dominate their Areas of Responsibilities in enhancing safety and maintaining public order.

Itam reiterated that the command under his watch would not tolerate any form of unprofessional conduct by police personnel, emphasising the need for Officers to show competence, good character, and courage in the discharge of their duties.
To this end, he restated that his administration “was poised to operate an all-inclusive policing system to hear from everyone and anyone, who wants to help us as an institution, especially by giving us information, and in turn, this shall guide/inform our decisions”.
