The Lagos Police Command has joined organisations and institutions across the country in commemorating the 2025 Customer Service Week, a global observance that celebrates service excellence and strengthens relationships between service providers and their customers.
For the Police, the celebration underscores the vital role of the public as its primary partner in maintaining safety and security across the State.
As part of the weeklong activities, the Command organised a comprehensive medical outreach at the Area F Police Cottage Hospital, Ikeja, where both residents and police personnel benefitted from free health services including blood pressure checks, HIV and hepatitis screenings, pelvic scans, and X-rays.
The initiative, according to the Command, was designed to appreciate the public for their cooperation and support, while also fostering stronger police-community relations built on trust, compassion, and accessibility. Medical professionals were also on hand to provide counselling on preventive healthcare, stress management, and healthy living — reflecting the Command’s belief that effective policing must also demonstrate empathy and care for the well-being of citizens.
In furtherance of the celebration, the Command hosted a broad stakeholders’ meeting involving members of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), the Eminent Persons Forum, Civil Society Organisations, the Clergy, Traditional Rulers, and the Community Development Advisory Council, among others.
The engagement served as a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and collective problem-solving towards improved community safety and effective policing in Lagos State.
Speaking at the event, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their continued partnership and support to the Command.
“Our service is community-centred. We value every Lagos resident as a stakeholder in the security architecture of our State. Together, we can sustain peace, strengthen trust, and ensure that Lagos remains safe for all,” the CP stated.
The Command reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to upholding the values of service, respect, and integrity, while assuring the public of improved accessibility through its Complaint Response Unit (CRU) and verified social media platforms for feedback and prompt response.
