The TV Series was conceptualised by IGP Solomon Arase, the Inspector General of Police in furtherance to his policing vision which is woven around bridging the gap between the Police and its public and connecting in the most sociable manner with broad spectrums of Nigerians.
2. Consequently, ‘Beyond Your Sight’ documents, serialises and disseminates landmark operational, intelligence, investigative and prosecutorial exploits of the Nigeria Police Force with the aim of showcasing the professional capacity and achievements of the Police over the years. The message, Ladies and Gentlemen is that though the Nigeria Police has had its fair share of institutional challenges, the Force under the leadership of IGP Arase has laid pathways that is engendering the evolution of a new Police Force, a Force that will not only take pride in itself, but one that will sing its song, change its narratives and give social meaning to policing.
