The operatives of Rapid Response Squad
of the Lagos State Police Command have been urged to look beyond their
role as law enforcement agents and see themselves as essential service
providers to the people.
The
exhortation was made today by the Executive Secretary, Lagos State
Security Trust Fund, Dr. Abdul Rasaq Balogun at a 7 day workshop on
administering First Aid in emergency situations.
Dr.
Balogun while urging the officers stated “your role is more than
policing. You are always on the road. This training is necessary as
first responders to emergencies in the State.
The
training is to enhance your services as officers to the people. The
first few minutes of emergencies are very cardinal. It can shape or mar
the victim’s future, and so, you must be mindful of your actions”.
He
noted that the training was part of the State Government’s efforts to
keep police officers in the state in tune with global best practices.
He
added that time was of the essence in administering first aid during
emergencies, urging the officers to avail themselves of the values of
the training programme.
Also
speaking at the same ceremony, the Commander, Rapid Response Squad,
Lagos, ACP Olatunji Disu urged the men to put in their utmost best,
stressing that government too would reciprocate the gesture.
He urged the men to see their service to humanity as service to God.
