Officers of the Lagos State Police Command, were today charged to always carry out diligent investigation and prosecution of criminal cases.

They were also charged to be more proactive by constantly carrying out intelligence-driven and aggressive raid of identified black spots with a view to smoking out criminals from their hideouts.

Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, gave the charge at a strategic meeting with his Management Team, Area Commanders, DPOs, HODs and other tactical commanders to review security situation in the State.

The meeting was part of concerted, deliberate efforts to sustain the existing peace and tranquility currently being enjoyed in the State.

While appreciating the officers for their untiring commitment towards maintaining law and order, he reiterated his commitment to providing robust security for the good people of the State.

He added that while crime had reduced drastically in the state, there was need for officers and men to continue to be ahead of criminals and other hoodlums who often make lives unbearable for law abiding citizens.

Odumosu directed the creation of additional pin down points at Ile Zik, Opebi, Monkey Bridge, Odo Iya Alaro and other places to further strengthen security of the affected areas.

He also frowned at reckless attitude of motorists and okada riders who persistently violate traffic rules and regulations.

Odumosu vowed to instill discipline by arresting offenders in special and continuous operations that would commence on Wednesday.

The Police Boss warned that such traffic violators irrespective of their personality should desist from their unbridled penchant for breaking traffic laws in any part of the State.
