The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has successfully completed and commissioned the digitalized Central Motor Registry (CMR) Command Centre at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The Centre, which is domiciled at the Department of Information and Communication Technology, is in line with the IGP’s quest to ensure a digital environment for policing the country for robust and more proactive measures in crime prevention, investigation, and prosecution.
Making this known in a statement on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said that the newly-digitalized Central Motor Registry Command Centre would make it possible for members of the public to report vehicles stolen from as far back as January 1, 2018, and yet to be recovered, to input the vehicle details on the online platform to serve as a reliable data point for the possible recovery of the vehicle.
He said that the platform would also process motor vehicle information to support police operations and efforts toward enhancing national security.
“The digitalization of the CMR is complete with two Command Centres in Abuja and Lagos, 37 CMR Information Centres across the Country and in the Federal Capital Territory, 200 e-Enforcement Operational Patrol Vehicles with automatic number plate recognition on each vehicle as part of the first batch,” the FPRO added.
The IGP therefore admonished Nigerians and other residents in the country to take advantage of the platform at https://reportcmr.npf.gov.ng to upload their vehicle information on the website with effect from December 7, 2022, as a security step for preventing it from being stolen and re-registered.
