The Lagos State Police Command has reactivated its Complaint Response Unit, CRU, with a view to always receive prompt complaints and information from the public.

The New Commissioner of Police, CP Moshood Jimoh, reactivated the unit as part of activities for his resumption, saying that new Information Officers would be appointed at all Area Commands of the state.

He stressed that the officers will work with the Lagos Police Public Relations Office for quick information decemination, as the Command is not unmindful of the concerns and complaints of members of the Public about unsatisfactory conduct of few Police officers which is not condoned at any time.

Some personnel have been punished for in line with police disciplinary processes in the past. However in case of act of any right violation, I urge Lagosians to promptly reach out to the Lagos State Police Command’s Complaint Response Unit (CRU) by calling 09111111150 or via WhatsApp at 09111111151.

“Additionally, our official social media handles: @LagosPoliceNG (X), @policeng_lagos (instagram) and our website, http://www.lagos.npf.gov.ng, are always open for complaints for swift and effective responses.

“Your concerns will be treated with the utmost confidentiality, urgency and promptly redressed. You can also make a formal complaint at the nearest police station or report to me personally on 08032569029,” he said .

Jimoh said the Command will continue to uphold an open-door policy, ensuring a people-friendly and community-oriented approach to policing for all Lagosians.

According to him, We will foster unhindered communication, deliberation and collaboration between the police and the public.

He further assured that the people of the State will have unhindered opportunity to interact with the police freely at all levels to strengthen the trust, accountability, and mutual respect on both sides.

“Let me assure Lagosians that under my leadership, human rights abuses will not be tolerated, no matter how minor it may be.

“Our approach to policing will be firmly rooted on the dictates of international best practices in Policing, while professionalism, respect for human rights and human dignity of every Lagosian will be religiously observed.

“Every action taken by Police personnel across the Command will reflect our commitment to rule of law, justice, accountability, and the protection of citizens rights at all times,” he assured.

The Commissioner, however, urged the good people of the State to respect the Police officers on their duty posts and be law abiding. The police boss also warned his officers and men against corruption and all forms of unethical practices.

“We will ensure accountability, integrity, and professionalism in all our Police operations, law enforcement duties and other statutory responsibilities and obligations,” he said.
