Police Deepen Community Engagement with Sanitation, Free Medical Outreach in Ondo
30th March, 2026.
The Ondo State Police Command has kicked off activities for the 2026 National Police Day with a community-focused sanitation exercise and free medical outreach across parts of the state, reinforcing efforts to build public trust.
The initiative, flagged off on Monday, aligns with directives from the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, under the theme “Community Partnership: Building Trust.” It featured officers cleaning key public areas, including Arakale Market and Nepa Junction, as part of a broader commitment to environmental and public health.
Residents also benefitted from a free medical outreach organised by the Command, which provided consultations, basic treatments, and health advice. The exercise drew participation from community members who accessed essential healthcare services at no cost.
Speaking at the event, the Commissioner of Police in Ondo State, CP Adebowale Lawal, said the activities were designed to strengthen collaboration between the Police and the public, while highlighting a more people-oriented approach to policing.
He reiterated the Command’s commitment to community engagement, trust-building, and improved service delivery through humanitarian initiatives.
Also present at the event, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 17, AIG Ajani Musbau, encouraged residents to take advantage of the outreach and support efforts aimed at promoting safety and cooperation.
The Command urged members of the public to continue providing credible information to security agencies and to participate in programmes that enhance peace and mutual trust.
The week-long activities marking the 2026 National Police Day are expected to culminate in a grand finale on April 7.
