As part of efforts geared towards bringing policing nearer to the grassroots and in line with the policy on Community Policing, the Inspector-General of Police, (IGP) Idris Ibrahim, has approved the creation of new area commands across the country with Delta State Command having three new area commands.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Zanna Ibrahim, made the disclosure recently in a press release made available to journalists in Asaba by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Andrew Aniamaka, naming them to include, Agbor, Ozoro and Sapele which were carved from the existing area commands of Asaba, Ughelli and Warri, making a total of six area commands in the state.

The CP who was enthused with this development, described it as an ongoing process and noted that more area Commands and Divisions would in due course be created by the police hierarchy to enhance effective service delivery to the people.
