E-CMR’ll eliminate stopping vehicles on the road to check papers—Police

320

The Nigeria Police Force’s Electronic Central Motor Registry (E-CMR) innovation will eliminate the need to stop drivers on the road for vehicle information verification, so says the Force spokesman, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

In a series of posts he shared on X on Thursday, Adejobi highlighted the ease and efficiency of the “e-policing” innovation.

According to him, under the leadership of Inspector-General Olukayode Egbetokun, the Electronic Central Motor Registry system has been launched to make roads safer and the policing process smoother.

He noted that this new system allows vehicle owners to register their vehicles digitally and provides a quick response for emergencies.

“If your vehicle is registered with the NPF e-CMR and gets stolen, you can instantly flag it as stolen through your online profile,” he said, explaining that the system will alert all field officers nationwide within seconds, improving the chances of swift recovery.

One of the posts about the e-CMR’s removal of paperwork read: “No more stopping to check papers—our officers are equipped with cutting-edge technology to verify documents in real-time.”

“With the NPF’s new E-CMR system, you don’t need to carry around physical documents. Access all your vehicle info digitally—quick, easy, and secure.’

Persecondnews recalls that the IGP had earlier this year ordered the enforcement of the digitalised Central Motor Registry.

According to him, the move was to modernise and digitize the motor vehicle registration system and improve the nation’s safety and security framework.

On July 15, the IGP suspended the process’s enforcement, originally scheduled to begin on July 29, 2024.

Adejobi stated that the easing of enforcement aims to promote widespread awareness about the advantages and efficacy of the e-CMR initiative.

This initiative aims to safeguard the safety and security of all vehicle types, including motorcycles, by gathering data from vehicle owners and utilizing this information to flag vehicles reported stolen, among other purposes.
