The deployment and presence of Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency officers to public primary and secondary schools across the State is to enhance security.

According to the agency, the initiative to deploy officers to complement the security situation in public schools to reduce the rate of crime-related activities among students.

It says the introduction of the ‘Stop N Search’ policy of the Corps before students were allowed access into schools has led to the discovery of dangerous weapons and illicit drugs in the bags of some of the students.
