Nigeria Police Force Launches Upgraded Electronic Central Motor Registry for Enhanced National Security
In a groundbreaking move, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has officially introduced the upgraded electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR), designed to strengthen safety and security measures for all Nigerians.
According to a statement released on Sunday, December 24, by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the e-CMR initiative marks a significant leap forward in enhancing law enforcement capabilities and safeguarding the well-being of citizens.
Adejobi emphasized that the e-CMR is a comprehensive information system aimed at streamlining vehicle registration processes, contributing to national security measures.
He stated, “The full operationalization of the e-CMR will enable swift and efficient tracking of stolen vehicles, significantly increasing the chances of recovery. It will also maintain an accurate and up-to-date database of registered vehicles, aiding in the prevention and investigation of vehicle-related crimes such as kidnapping and one-chance activities.”
Highlighting the prevention of the re-registration of stolen vehicles, Adejobi added an additional layer of security, discouraging criminals from engaging in such activities.
“To register for the e-CMR, individuals and corporate bodies can conveniently visit the official website at [https://cmris.npf.gov.ng](https://cmris.npf.gov.ng),” he further explained.
Emphasizing the initiative’s significance, the Inspector-General of Police reassured the public of the NPF’s commitment to ensuring public welfare. He underscored that the e-CMR, along with other police-designed applications like the Rescue Me App and Police VGS, are pivotal tools in achieving this goal.
Addressing concerns about e-CMR enforcement, the statement assured that it will be executed professionally, allowing ample time for registration by individuals and corporate entities. The Police urged the public to help disseminate information about e-CMR for a more secure Nigeria.
“While appreciating the cooperation of the public in this crucial initiative, the Inspector-General of Police emphasizes that the NPF is committed to ensuring the welfare of the public. The e-CMR and other applications designed by the police, like Rescue Me App and Police VGS, are vital tools in achieving this goal. The police acknowledge concerns about e-CMR enforcement and assure that it would be done in the most professional manner with ample notice for registration by all individuals and corporate bodies. We urge all and sundry to spread awareness about e-CMR for a safer and more secure Nigeria.”
