Mr Anand said the force will do better in discharging its responsibilities in order to boost the confidence of Ndi-Anambra voters and Nigerians in general, come Saturday.
The DIG made this known during a meeting with election observers and the media organisations at the state Headquarters, Amawobia, on Thursday.
According to him, the Anambra governorship election is a national assignment that has the presence of 100 DIGs and AIGs.
He disclosed that the restriction of movements will commence at 11:59 pm on Friday.
