In this post, we will give you guides on how to approach a policeman who stopped the vehicle that is carrying you.

How Corpers can approach policeman who stopped they vehicle they board
Below is what to do when police stop your vehicle;
If you are putting on your NYSC uniform and you are close to the police, just greet him, he will know what to do. But if he refuses to recognise you as a Corper, please let him do his job to avoid embarrassment.
Some of the police once they see you in uniform holler on you “Corper shun” and will start playing and joking with you, and let your vehicle go while some, hmmm the story is different.
Don’t take it personal, not everybody in uniform understand the meaning of esprit de corps.
Don’t go and start demanding that your vehicle should be released because you are wearing NYSC uniform. But you can go and meet the person that stopped the vehicle and plead with him if it’s just a minor issue. If he remain adamant just locate the senior officer among them by looking at their ranks.

Anyone with rank on his shoulder is the senior or the lanyard (that rope on the uniform) or anyone with a different colour is the senior officer. Or check for their van and meet the person in the van (the oga at the top), but if it’s a serious issue, please hold your driver so that he will balance you or get you another vehicle. So, all that matters is your manner of approach.
