The police command in Lagos State has activated a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance centre to enhance security across Lagos Island and its environs.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Lagos.
She said the commissioner of police, Olohundare Jimoh, had activated the CCTV Surveillance Centre on Wednesday.
Ms Adebisi said the digital facility was built and fully equipped by the federal government, through the Ministry of Works, under the supervision of Dave Umahi.
“The facility provides real-time surveillance and monitoring of the Third Mainland Bridge, surrounding waterways, and other strategic locations within the island axis.
“The initiative is designed to proactively prevent crime and strengthen the protection of lives and property,” she said.
To further support effective operations, the spokesperson said two operational vehicles were formally handed over to the command on Friday to enhance mobility and rapid response capability.
According to her, the surveillance centre, which also serves as control room 5, operates 24 hours daily, and is manned by well-trained officers, to ensure swift, intelligence-led policing and prompt response to security threats.
The police spokesperson encouraged the public to remain vigilant and continue to partner with the police by promptly reporting suspicious activities.
“Report suspicious activities through the command’s emergency lines:
0706 101 9374, 0806 515 4338
0806 329 9264, 0803 934 4870,” she said.
