The force spokesperson said information and communication
technology analysts and enforcement officers will undergo training on February 29
as a “prequel to the reopening of tinted glass permit issuance”.
“The training will equip ICT analysts and enforcement
officers with the necessary skills and knowledge to regulate the registration
process, guide registrants on the use of the portal where required, attend to
complaints from members of the public, and enforce compliance
effectively,” the statement reads.
“It will focus on the intricacies of the new
guidelines, emphasising the importance of maintaining a delicate balance
between public safety and individual freedoms while safeguarding national
security.
“The proposed tinted glass permit will incorporate
distinctive features aimed at enhancing enforcement efficiency and security.
“These include a QR code linked to a central database
for real-time verification, unique serial numbers correlated with vehicle and
owner details, as well as a digital hologram ensuring authenticity and
integrity, among other measures.
“It is crucial to highlight that the guidelines for the
issuance of tinted permits and the use of tinted glass will strictly adhere to
the provisions of the MOTOR VEHICLES (PROHIBITION OF TINTED GLASS) ACT 1991 and
other relevant extant laws.
“This strategic approach underscores the commitment of
the Nigeria Police Force to prioritize public safety while upholding individual
rights and national security interests.”
