The Police Commissioner, Bauchi State Police Command, Sani-Omolori Aliyu has directed that the newly passed out Police officers (members of 7th Regular Course) from the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano deployed to Bauchi be posted within the Bauchi metropolis for their probationary period.
CP Aliyu gave the directive on Thursday, 8 January, 2026, when he received the officers at the Bauchi state Police Command headquarters.
The CP, who emphasised discipline and dedication to service, disclosed that the officers are expected to undergo one-year probation which is designed to expose them to core practical policing responsibilities.
The CP, in a press release made available to journalists by the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Nafiu Habib, explained that the one year probation will help the officers to enhance their operational understanding of law enforcement.
The CP said, upon successful completion of the period, the officers will be confirmed as substantive Assistant Superintendents of Police.
The Police commissioner urged them to remain disciplined, dedicated to service, and focused on practical policing activities that will adequately prepare them for their future roles as seasoned police officers.
He further disclosed that the deployment of the officers to their states of origin was in line with the vision of IGP Kayode Egbetokun, aimed at actualising the community-based policing initiative.
The CP noted that the initiative is intended to effectively address contemporary security challenges across Nigeria.
