The Command, as a lead internal security agency in the state, has crucial roles in combating crimes and criminal activities in the state and making the state safer for all the people of the state.

“To achieve these objectives, the Command will work closely with the Government of the State, prominent and eminent personalities, critical stakeholders, investors, public-spirited individuals, the traditional rulers, religious leaders, and all other stakeholders and groups that are committed to partnering with the Police to ensure security and safety in the State.

He said his leadership will prioritize effective synergy, partnership, and cooperation with sister security and safety agencies and services in the state. This is to sustain, further improve, and strengthen the already established cordial relationship between the police and the other security and safety agencies in the state. “I, therefore, respectfully wish to assure these critical security stakeholders of the commitments of the Command in this regard. It’s imperative to emphasize that under my leadership, the Command will foster closer collaboration with key security agencies, complimenting the Police, to implement a unified strategy to tackle crime in Lagos State. Our collective commitment and collaboration will definitely ensure a more secure and safer Centre of Excellence for all Lagosians

He said the new and varied Crime Prevention, Control, and Management Strategies will be adopted and implemented to nip in the bud all forms of crime, most especially violent crimes, and promptly detect those crimes that may occur.

The CP assured that the Command will be more proactive in crime fighting and prevention to detect and act and deal according to the laws with early warning signals of crimes and other threats that can snowball into disturbances of public peace and public safety or break down of law and order appropriately.
“The state will be too hot henceforth for the men of the underworld, and it will be a no-go area for criminals and their cohorts.
