In security operations, response time can be the difference between containing a threat and allowing it to escalate. Recognising that frontline policing depends not only on personnel and intelligence but also on the reliability of operational assets, the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) has moved to strengthen the mobility of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) with the presentation of 70 tyres to the squad.
The tyres were presented on behalf of the Executive Secretary/CEO of the LSSTF, Dr. Ayodele Ogunsan, by the Director of Administration, Mr. Adegbola Lewis, to the Commander of the RRS, CSP Shola Jejeloye.
Speaking during the presentation, Lewis said the intervention reflected the Fund’s commitment to ensuring that security agencies have the basic operational resources required to respond effectively to emergencies.
“The LSSTF understands that providing vehicles is only one part of strengthening security operations. Those vehicles must remain functional and available when they are needed most. This intervention is therefore about ensuring that the RRS remains mobile, responsive and ready to protect the people of Lagos.”
The RRS Commander, CSP Shola Jejeloye commended the Fund for its sustained partnership towards the Police unit, noting that consistent logistical support remained critical to effective policing and rapid response operations. He said the 70 tyres would contribute significantly to keeping the squad’s operational vehicles in good condition and ensuring that officers remain adequately mobile as they respond to security incidents across Lagos.
The presentation forms part of the LSSTF’s broader intervention in strengthening the operational capacity of security agencies across the state through the provision of vehicles, protective equipment, training and other critical logistics.
