Lagos CP Bans Police Officers From Patrolling In Mufti, Commercial Vehicles

To ensure that policemen in Lagos are at their professional best always, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Edgal Imohimi has banned police operatives in the state from operating in  mufti and commercial  vehicles such as the yellow buses popularly known as Danfo or other commercial buses.

Unmarked vehicles will only be used occasionally for covert operations targeted at a specific individual or group based on credible intelligence.

The Command is not unaware that some unscrupulous individuals impersonate as SARS operatives. To this end, the CP urges members of the public to take note of the dress code for SARS operatives in the Command.

According to the CP, the dress code is as follows:
1. A black jacket and a face cap.
2. In the front of the jacket, the word police is written in white at the top right part.
3. At the bottom left part of the jacket, F-SARS  039 is written there.
4. At the back of the jacket are inscriptions “F-SARS LAGOS,”  “SCORPION” and a red  image of a Scorpion.
5. On the face cap are inscriptions “F-SARS” and “SCORPION.”

Edgal according to CSP Chike Oti, had on assumption of office, set up a Citizen Complaint Hot Centre (CCHC) with the following telephone lines solely dedicated for lodging complaints against wrong actions of  policemen.

They are:
1. 08067945296
2. 08063025274
3. 08063104759
4. 08113615350

8. 08089781657
9. 08126404930
10. 08081426895

Members of the public are enjoined to always make their complaints against erring policemen including those who violate the patrol guidelines and the dress code  by calling any of the lines above. The Command can also be reached on the social media platforms  (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) via @policenglagos.

It will be recalled  that the Command as part of its disciplinary measures, recently  dismissed eight policemen for various offences against discipline.
