THE on-going shake-up in the Nigeria Police System ensuring transfers of Senior Police Officers, SPOs. to different formations and offices has also hit the State criminal Investigation Department, SCID, of the Lagos State Police Command.

The State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos on Friday, January 15, 2021, witnessed the redeployment of the Officer-In-Charge of the department, DCP Yetunde Longe, to Deputy Commissioner of Police in-charge of DFA of the Zone 2 Command (i.e. Lagos/Ogun).

Astute DCP Yetunde Longe, at various times before her deployment as Officer in-Charge of Lagos SCID, in early 2018 had served as 2iC at SCID, Lagos; 2iC at Area F Command in Lagos; Commander-in-Charge, Area F, Lagos; Commandant at Police Training school; as well as Deputy Commissioner of Police and Officer-in-Charge, SCID, Bauchi state.

Longe kick-started her official duties at the Lagos SCID with the mandate of rebranding the ‘old SCID’ from what it used to be known for. She began with the introduction of standard dress code for all officers attached to the department.

She further went ahead to ensure the creation of the department’s official website and email address  (www.scid.lg.gov.ng & info@scid.lg.gov.ng) which was unveiled by former Lagos Commissioner of Police, CP Zubairu Muazu, all in a bid to bring Policing closer to the people.

Her administration as the Officer-in-Charge also facilitated the creation of an advanced 21st century audio-visual statement-taking room, which was donated by the European Union through the support of ROLAC, also commissioned by CP Zubairu Muazu.
