Perception and attitude of Nigerian police personnel towards the adoption of spiritual security mechanism for police operations
Despite its exclusive reliance on ‘modern’ policing techniques and equipment, the service-delivery capacity of the Nigeria Police Force is still generally on the average. Therefore, this study investigated the perception and attitude of Nigerian police personnel towards the adoption of spiritual security mechanism for police operations. Symbolic interactionism theory was utilised as conceptual framework. Data were elicited from 21 police officers serving at the Oyo State Police Command Criminal Investigation Department and 16 police officials of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit using in-depth interview and focus group discussion methods. Most of the respondents acknowledged the existence of spiritual security mechanism. Although some police officials were secretly utilising spiritual security mechanism for criminal investigations, four major factors were identified as constituting barriers to the possibility of incorporating it into police operations.
