“These topics will be handled by scholars from various fields. The medical evaluation conducted included urinalysis, toxicology, fasting and random blood sugar tests, and psychological tests. Similarly, the police chief has charged the senior officers of the command to always supervise their men posted on duty at various locations across the state, stating that adequate supervision of officers and men will enhance good service delivery, especially during the ember months.

“The CP also encouraged members of his management team, comprising Deputy Commissioners of Police, Area Commanders and heads of department in the command at the meeting held at the Conference Hall, Command Headquarters, Ikeja, to put the men on their toes towards having visibility policing, adequate patrols, intelligence-driven policing and public safety across the state.
