The commissioner who was in company with the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Administration and Finance, DCP Elkanah Ayuba, warned the officers not to allow themselves to be used by any politician. He stressed that they must display professionalism in the discharge of their duties in the coming elections.
He also called on the officers to be courteous to members of the public and avoid engaging in acts capable of bringing bad reputation to the Command and the Force in general.
Edgal, while commending the RRS officers for being first responders in time of distress and emergencies in the state, emphasized the need to continue to respond to distress calls speedily and give Lagosians psychological comfort at all times.
“Avoid leaving your beats, handle your arms professionally, you senior officers should supervise your subordinates and ensure total professionalism and remember their allegiance to the Force at all times,” he added.
He also urged the officers to continue to live up to their responsibilities.
