The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has launched a transformative journey to digitise the Central Motor Registry (CMR) to improve security, expedite law enforcement, and address the developing difficulties of vehicle crimes. The CMR, which was established over 60 years ago to manage motor vehicle information, is undergoing modernization to meet the demands of modern policing in the digital age.
In a post on X, the NPF posted: “CMR is a comprehensive system designed to streamline vehicle registration processes with a view to strengthening national security. It’s full operationalization would facilitate swift and efficient tracking of stolen vehicles, significantly increasing the chances of recovery; lead to the maintenance of an accurate and up-to-date database of registered vehicles which would aid in the prevention and investigation of vehicle-related crimes such as kidnapping and one-chance activities involving; the system is also designed to make it impossible for stolen vehicles to be re-registered, adding an additional layer of security and discouraging criminals from engaging in such activities.”
