He said the challenge of manpower shortage was all over the federation in the Nigeria Police, stressing that the case of Cross River was terrible and needed immediate attention.
“The effectiveness of the command in discharging its statutory duties is being hampered by some challenges not unconnected with enhanced technological and electronic methods, especially in tracking device of policing,” he said.
He, however, stated that the crime rate in the state had reduced, compared to other states of the federation, noting that rapid urbanisation and development had resulted in some emerging security threats.
