Lagos State Police Command launches a high-tech CCTV Surveillance Centre on Lagos Island, enhancing real-time monitoring and rapid response to crime
In a major step towards technology-driven policing, the Lagos State Police Command, led by CP Olohundare Jimoh, inaugurated a new CCTV Surveillance Centre on January 14, 2026, to enhance security across Lagos Island and its environs.
The state-of-the-art facility, built and fully equipped by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Works under the supervision of Engr. Dave Umahi, enables real-time monitoring of the Third Mainland Bridge, surrounding waterways, and other key island locations. It is designed to proactively prevent crime and safeguard lives and property.
As part of the initiative, two operational vehicles were handed over to the command on January 16, 2026. The Centre, which also serves as Control Room 5, operates 24/7 with trained officers to ensure swift, intelligence-led responses to incidents.
The Lagos Police Command has urged members of the public to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement by reporting suspicious activities through the following emergency lines: 0706 101 9374, 0806 515 4338, 0806 329 9264, and 0803 934 4870.
