Insecurity: Police Releases Emergency Response Phone Numbers

The phone numbers of all divisional police officers, or DPOs, have been made public by the Adamawa State Police Command so that residents can contact them in case of a security emergency.

This is in response to an increase in criminal activity throughout the state; just last Friday, a man was killed in the state capital by a teenage gang that was after his cellphones.

In a statement released on Monday morning from the command center in Yola, 51 DPOs from the state’s 21 local government areas were listed as being contactable at any time of day or night regarding security breaches.

Described as “DPOs’ emergency hotlines for standard operational procedures for seamless responses to distress calls”, the numbers are a fallback for all residents in the police command’s “effort to effectively respond to distress calls and to ensure the protection of lives and property,” according to the statement.

Signed by Police Public Relations Officer, Suleiman Nguroje, the statement added that the DPOs’ hotlines will ensure monitoring and reporting of any suspicious act or acts of violence by unscrupulous persons capable of disrupting the peace of the Public.

“This is part of the Command’s effort to achieving the strategy of responding to distress calls and dealing with miscreants or groups of miscreants in any part of the state,” the statement stressed.

It advised members of the public to call the phone number of the DPO covering their location to report any security breach around their neighbourhood.
