The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has approved the introduction of a new standardized uniform and kits for the Supernumerary Police, commonly referred to as Spy Police.
This move aimed at boosting the professionalism and distinct visibility of Spy Police officers, was unveiled during an official ceremony on Tuesday in Abuja.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police for Finance and Administration, DIG Bala Ciroma, represented IGP Egbetokun at the event.
He emphasized that the updated uniforms are part of a broader strategy to revitalize Spy Police operations across the nation.

This initiative, aligned with the Police Act 2020, is intended to ensure that Spy Police officers are easily recognizable and maintain a professional appearance that is distinct from the regular police force.
“The redesigned uniforms are intended to prevent the misuse of regular police uniforms and ensure that our Supernumerary Police officers stand out with a unique, professional image,” Egbetokun noted.
The IGP further directed that all Police Training Schools across the country should now implement this new uniform issuance model for Spy Police personnel. Organizations employing Spy Police officers must strictly adhere to the new standards.
The Force Quartermaster, along with other relevant officials in various states, will oversee the registration and distribution of the new uniforms to ensure a seamless transition to this new standard.
