The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has created five new Divisions.
The development was announced by the Deputy Public Relations Officer of the FCT Police Command, Assistant Superintendent of Police Mariam Yusuf, in a statement on Friday.
Yusuf said the newly created Division are Pegi, Biaji, Dawaki, Yebu and Galadima.
She said the creation of these Divisions is in line with the concept of the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, on community policing, which is intended to bring the Police closer to the community and jointly combat criminality in all ramifications.
She said in addition to this, the the creation of these Divisions was necessitated by population explosion in the FCT, vast terrain and infrastructural availability in these areas.
Yusuf added: “The Command enjoins the public to cooperate with the operatives of these new divisions for effective and efficient policing.
“The Command wishes to reassure the public of its unwavering commitment to tackle crime and ensure safety in the FCT. In case of emergency contact the Command through any of these emergency numbers: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653 and 08028940883.”
