Police Launch Central Motor Registry To Help Recover Stolen Vehicles

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba has launched Central Motor Registry, CMR that will help to document all vehicles in the country and help in the recovery of stolen vehicles within the country.

Launching the portal in Abuja on Wednesday, the IGP urged vehicle owners to take advantage of the platform and document their vehicles on the portal to ensure easy recovery in the event of a theft.

“The newly digitalized Central Motor Registry Command Centre will make it possible for members of the public to report vehicles stolen from as far back as 1st January, 2018, and yet-to-be-recovered to input the vehicle details on the online platform to serve as a reliable data point for the possible recovery of the vehicle,” the force spokesman, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said in a statement made available to GWG.ng.

Continuing, he said:

“The platform will also process motor vehicle information to support police operations and efforts toward enhancing national security. 

“The digitalization of the CMR is complete with 2 Command Centres in Abuja and Lagos, 37 CMR Information Centres across the Country and in the Federal Capital Territory, 200 e-Enforcement Operational Patrol Vehicles with automatic number plate recognition on each vehicle as part of the first batch.

“The Inspector-General of Police has therefore admonished Nigerians and other residents in the country to take advantage of the platform at https://reportcmr.npf.gov.ng to upload their vehicle information on the website with effect from today 7th December, 2022, as a security step for preventing it from being stolen and re-registered,” the police statement said of the Central Motor Registry.
