Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has welcomed the idea by the Federal Government and the Police Force to integrate the concept of community policing into the formal security architecture of the state.
The governor threw this support, on Tuesday, while speaking at the event organised by the Police Force and hosted by the state government to sensitise members of the public on community policing, saying the development would allow security agencies to efficiently nip crimes in the bud and swiftly respond to security breaches before blowing out of proportion.
The event, with the theme: “Understanding Community Policing: A Framework for Action,” was held at the Banquet Hall of the Governor’s Office and attended by Commissioners of Police in all the South-West states, religious groups, traditional institution, labour unions, civil society groups, and chairmen of the 57 local councils in Lagos.
