National Conference Finally Approves State Police
The National Conference on Thursday voted for the establishment of state
police in the country. The conference, which also called on President
Goodluck Jonathan to stop pardoning corrupt leaders, however said only
states that had the financial capacity to fund state police should
create it.
Apart from this, the conference adopted the recommendation by the Committee on National Security, that state laws should be used as a guide for community policing.
But there were a lot of disagreements among the delegates on the mode of transfer of federal policemen to states. While some insisted that police officers should be allowed to serve only in their states for effective policing, others disagreed, saying such a gesture could be misused by politicians.
After a long argument, the conference concluded that...
At least 70 percent of federal police officers from the rank of Deputy Superintendent to Constable, should be allowed to serve in their states of origin.

Before the state police proposal was adopted, there were debates by
delegates on what the mode of operation of the state police should be
and whether there would not be any superiority battle between the
federal and state police.
Some delegates were of the opinion that there would be conflict of command and operations between the federal and state police. They argued that there was no way both could work together without rancour.
They raised concern 0ver the possibility of harmonious coexistence of both federal and state police in states, considering the fact that their duties might overlap.

One of the delegates, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, said that state police
should be autonomous and should operate as a coordinate with the federal
police.
