- 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 old method results in communication barrier whenever these officers are redeployed.
The Lagos police command has released phone numbers of divisional police officers (DPO) in the state.
Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, disclosed in a statement on Saturday, June 8.
The police command said it has introduced permanent phone numbers for police divisions, area commands, and strategic officers.
The command said the innovation is aimed to establish a stable and reliable channel of communication between the public and the police.
“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,” the command 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.”
CP Adegoke Fayoade, Commissioner of Police, who spearheaded the initiative said it will enhance access, response times, and communication for the people of Lagos State.
The CP also acknowledged the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) for donating desktop phones to all police divisions, facilitating the new phone lines.
He added that this development demonstrates the Command’s commitment to community engagement and public safety.
“With improved communication, the police can respond more effectively to incidents and concerns, fostering a safer environment for all.”
