THE Delta State Police Command has appreciated Deltans for their support in the fight against crime, distributing souvenirs, traders and youths for their partnership.
In a statement issued and signed by the spokesman of the command in the state, DSP Bright Edafe, the outreach carried out across Delta State was in commemoration of the Customer Service Week.
According to Edafe, ‘’The world is celebrating 2025 customer service week, which is dedicated to showing love and appreciation for the efforts of the people. The Delta State Police command participated fully on October 8, 2025, by carrying out an outreach across the State.
‘’The command took advantage of the customer service week to appreciate Deltans for their support in the fight against crime and criminality. Partnership with members of the community is key and has been one of the major reasons why successes have been recorded in the fight against crime and criminality in the State.
‘’Souvenirs were presented to road users, market women, parents and youths in appreciation for their support and partnership with the command in crime fighting.
‘’Protection of lives and property is the core mandate of the Nigeria Police, and the populace, in this case, could be seen as customers because we are partners in crime fighting.
‘’Similar outreach was also carried out in Ughelli, Warri, Sapele and other parts of the State with the presentation of gift items, books and lots more to residents, primary and secondary school students.
‘’The Commissioner of Police, Delta State, CP Olufemi Abaniwonda, in his message to Deltans, noted that this is a non-kinetic approach to crime fighting and going forward, it will be sustained to further bridge the gap between the police and the community,’’ he said.
