Lagos State Police Command has introduced permanent phone numbers for police divisions, area commands, and strategic officers.
Gatekeepers News reports that the move is a way of providing a more stable channel of communication between the public and the police, assignments.
The police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin made this known through a statement released on Saturday.
Hundeyin said, “With the new arrangement, numbers remain permanently attached to particular offices such that with the redeployment of the occupants of such officers, the phone numbers remain the same.”
He added that the move replaces the old era where the personal phone numbers of these strategic officers were used for official communication/assignments, resulting in communication barriers whenever the officers are redeployed.
The statement further revealed that the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Adegoke Fayoade changed the old process to provide improved access, quicker response times, and enhanced communication for the good people of Lagos State.
Fayoade also commended the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), Lagos State Command, under the leadership of Apostle Kehinde Showemimo for providing desktop phones to all police divisions.
He further stated that the kind act would help the force engage better with communities and creating a safer environment for the residents of the state.
