SPECIALIZED SERVICES

With respect to extant and relevant laws, the Police Force Order which draws strength from the Police Act 2020, provides for the Nigeria Police to charge fees for specialized services rendered to the Nigerian public. These include the services of Police Orderlies for protection and safety of lives and properties. Likewise, the Police Act 2020 permits the NPF to charge fees for private engagements and other Specialized Services. It is on this basis that the Police has since its inception applied fees on services such as Escort Services, Issuance of Licenses for Arms & Ammunition, Police Extracts and other Specialized Services. Police Specialized Services also referred to as Police Revenue Services include Police Escort & Special Security Services, Arms & Ammunition Licenses, Contractor Registration, International Driving Permit, Police Extract & Information Services, other permits & reports services provided pursuant to the Force Order.
