The Lagos State Police Command has introduced permanent phone numbers for police divisions, area commands, and strategic officers to enhance communication with the public.
According to a statement on X by the command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin the move replaces the previous practice of using personal phone numbers of officers, which often created communication barriers when they were redeployed.
The statement added that the Commissioner of Police, CP Adegoke Fayoade, implemented this change to provide easier access, faster response times, and improved communication for the people of Lagos State.
The statement reads in part, “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.
“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Adegoke Fayoade mni, has taken this step to provide improved access, quicker response times and enhanced communication for the good people of Lagos State.
“CP Fayoade equally commends the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), Lagos State Command, under the leadership of Apostle Kehinde Showemimo for magnanimously providing desktop phones to all police divisions within the state for the use of the newly introduced phone lines.
“The CP noted that this gesture will go a long way in consolidating the commitment of the Command in engaging with communities and creating a safer environment for everyone in the state.”
