The Oyo State Police Command, in collaboration with the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), has launched a Safe School initiative aimed at strengthening security around schools as well as creating a safer learning environment across the state.
The initiative, which coincided with the 42nd anniversary celebration of the PCRC in Oyo State, is part of the command’s renewed efforts to enhance school safety as schools resume for the new academic session.
In a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka the command said the initiative would focus on increased police visibility around schools, protection of students, teachers and other school personnel, safeguarding of school infrastructure, improved community-based intelligence gathering and prompt response to emerging security threats.
The command said it would continue to deploy intelligence-led policing, strategic community engagement and proactive security measures to anticipate and prevent threats to schools and their occupants.
It urged school proprietors, administrators, teachers, parents, students and members of the public to remain security-conscious and promptly report suspicious persons, vehicles, movements or activities around schools.
