The Lagos State Police Command has commenced full implementation of the community policing strategy with inauguration of three Community Policing Committees across the Area Commands, Local Government/Council Areas and Divisions in the state.
“Community policing is both a philosophy and an organisational strategy that allows the police and the community to work closely together in creative ways to solve the problems of crime, illicit drugs, fear of crime and social disorder. It is a partnership between the police and members of the community to fight crime, criminalities and other social issues/disorder within the community which will eventually improve the quality of life for everyone in that community.
“Provisions for the establishment and utilisation of Special Constables are contained in Section 49 of the Police Act and they are appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 50 of the Police Act. The Act provides for the recruitment of Special Constables to serve particular security maintenance purposes within a limited geographical area. It also confers on them the powers, privileges and immunities of a Police Officer within their localities.
