In a bid to enhance communication and response times, the Lagos State Police Command has unveiled dedicated phone lines for Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and strategic officers.
According to a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, on Saturday, this move aims to provide a stable channel of communication between the public and the police, phasing out the use of personal phone numbers.
The statement read, “The Lagos State Police Command, in a remarkable move to provide a more stable channel of communication between the public and the police, has acquired hundreds of telephone lines to be permanently assigned to the offices of Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and other strategic officers.
“This move phases out the old era where the personal phone numbers of these strategic officers are used for official communication/assignments, resulting in communication barrier whenever these officers are redeployed.
“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.”
According to the statement, the state Commissioner of Police,Adegoke Fayoade, introduced the dedicated phone lines for police stations and area commands to enhance communication, response times, and access to police services for the people of Lagos State.
Fayoade praised the Police Community Relations Committee for donating desktop phones to all police divisions in Lagos State, supporting the new phone line initiative. He noted that the collaboration will enhance community engagement and contribute to a safer Lagos.
