In a significant step towards technology-driven policing, the Lagos State Police Command has activated a state-of-the-art Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Surveillance Centre to enhance security across Lagos Island and its surrounding areas.
The facility, inaugurated on January 14, 2026, under the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, is designed to provide real-time surveillance of critical locations, including the Third Mainland Bridge, adjoining waterways, and other strategic points within the island axis. The initiative is aimed at proactively preventing crime and safeguarding lives and property.
The CCTV Surveillance Centre, which also serves as Control Room 5, was built and fully equipped by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Ministry of Works, under the supervision of Engr. Dave Umahi. It operates 24 hours daily with trained officers to ensure swift, intelligence-led responses to security threats.
Further strengthening the command’s operational capacity, two operational vehicles were handed over to the Lagos State Police Command on January 16, 2026, to support rapid response and effective patrols within the monitored areas.
The police have urged residents and visitors to remain vigilant and collaborate with security agencies by promptly reporting suspicious activities through the Command’s emergency lines: 0706 101 9374, 0806 515 4338, 0806 329 9264, and 0803 934 4870.
The Lagos State Police Command reaffirmed its commitment to leveraging modern technology and community partnership to maintain public safety and security across the state.
