Yuletide: Police deploy massive personnel, assure adequate security in Delta

The Commissioner of Police Delta State, CP Ari Muhammed Ali FCIA, PSC+ has assured Deltans of a hitch-free Christmas celebration. The Commissioner of Police had ordered massive deployment of Personnel across the State to provide adequate security before, during, and after the celebration to ensure the protection of all residents in the State and the success of all activities lined up to mark the celebration.

The CP directed that all Area Commanders, DPOS, and Tactical Commanders should deploy men to all venues of the Celebrations and other resort centers to avoid mischief makers showing their ugly faces and causing any form of mayhem to law-abiding citizens in the State and ensure proper supervision of their men deployed.

Police Patrol teams have been drawn from Dragon Patrol, Safer Highways, Quick Response Squad, Rapid Response squad, and Eagle-Net Special Squad for this purpose.

The Traffic Control at the Head bridge had equally been taken care of as both Police personnel and traffic wardens have been deployed solely for traffic control while the Divisional Police Officers ‘B’ and ‘C’ Divisions Asaba and the State Traffic Officer have been tasked with the responsibility of working with other security agencies to ensure free flow of traffic.

The CP had directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operation to organize a Continuous ‘OPERATION SHOW OF FORCE’ with effect from Tuesday 20th, Friday 23rd, and Saturday 24th December 2022, in all parts of the State and to be supervised by the eight Area Commanders to ensure a hitch-free Yuletide period.

He therefore urged members of the public to be law abiding and continue to support the Police in the fight against crime and criminality while assuring them of the Command’s commitment to providing security, maintenance of law and order, and protection of lives and properties among other duties.

The CP, on behalf of Officers and men of Command, wished all Deltans, residents in the State, and Nigerians, in general, a hitch-free celebration.
