Police Service Commission, has said it would not hesitate to flush out any Policeman found to be undisciplined and incompetent.

Its Chairman, Musiliu Smith, said this when a delegation from the West African Conflict and Security Team from the British High Commission and United States Embassy in Nigeria visited him..

Smith said recruitment and promotion in the force would henceforth be based on competence, saying the commission was not comfortable with the current image of the Nigeria Police that had continued to receive a lot of criticisms from the public.

According to him, they ware aware of their responsibility to sanitise the place and were going to ensure recruitment and promotion would henceforth be based on established rules and majorly on competence.

He promised to reposition the force for optimum efficiency and effectiveness, saying the commission would soon hold a retreat to set an agenda for its work.

Smith said the commission would give Nigerians a disciplined force they would be proud of and one that would work within the dictates of the law and established rules and regulations.

He said the commission was aware of the huge responsibilities before it and was prepared to make a success of the challenges.

The Chairman called for assistance in the area of building a reliable data base for the commission to manage the personnel of the force.

The delegation from the West African Conflict and Security Team was represented by Katrina Aitken-Laird, Security and Justice Adviser, British High Commission and Michael Bonner, Senior Police Advisor, United States Embassy.

They pledged their support to the commission in the areas of institutional reforms in the police, community policing and capacity building.
