Lagos: It’ll cost N3m to fully kit a police officer — security needs better funding | TheCable

News AgencyThe Lagos State Security Trust Fund says it will cost N3 million to provide the necessary items for a police officer’s kit.Abdurrazaq Balogun, executive secretary of LSSTF, spoke on Wednesday during the 15th annual town hall meeting on security with the governor.

According to Balogun, security agencies require advanced training and the provision of adequate equipment to facilitate smooth operations.“To fully kit one policeman with uniform, taser, tactical gear — light, knife, jacket, belt, gloves, and boots — bulletproof vest, ballistic helmet, tear gas, push-to-talk on cellular communication equipment, rain gear, etc, will cost at least N3 million per officer,” he said.

“Truth be told, the needs of security agencies are endless, as they are expected to be prepared for every single possible crime scenario.“Often, most people do not see how simple solutions to a problem such as providing sniffer dogs creates a whole new expenditure matrix such as housing, feeding, training, health care and even providing special protection details for the dogs from drug barons who would seek to kill them.

Balogun added that with the attacks experienced in the northern region, the south needs to be more prepared for security challenges.
