The military, the Police and other security agencies in the country are not rivals but members of the same big family pursuing the same goal in the interest of the nation.

Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu said this made while presenting a paper entitled: ‘Contribution of the Nigeria Police to the Enhancement of National Security in Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole’ during the study tour of delegates of the Senior Course 44 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, to the Lagos State Police Command.

He opined that the visit ‘will afford the course participants to get thorough knowledge of the strategies being adopted by the police to secure the citizens, business entities, private and government facilities and other critical infrastructures of national interest in the state’.

The strategies, he emphasised, include but not limited to ‘proactive and intelligence driven security strategies, to tackle the menace (of crimes and criminality) head-on and ensure a secured environment’.

Head of the delegates, Commodore KJ Odubanjo, in his response thanked the Commissioner of Police for the warm reception given to the delegates and the brilliant presentation which according to him, would be of tremendous benefits to the course participants.
