As the world celebrates 2025 customer service week, which is dedicated to showing love and appreciation for the efforts of the people, Delta State Police command participated fully on Wednesday, 8th October 2025, by carrying out an outreach across the State.
The command, according its spokesman SP Bright Edafe, took advantage of the customer service week to appreciate Deltans for their support in the fight against crime and criminality. Edafe said 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. He disclosed that 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 fighting0” Edafe said.
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.
