For ease of its operations and the need to bring policing nearer to the grassroots, new area commands have been established in Delta State.
A statement by the Police Public Relations Office, PPRO, Andrew Aniamaka,a Deputy Superintendent of Police, stated that the Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, Mr. Zanna M. Ibrahim has observed that 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, Idris K. Ibrahim, has approved the creation of new area commands across the country and fortunately, Delta State Command is one of the beneficiaries of this laudable objective as it now has three new area commands namely, Agbor, Ozoro and Sapele created from and added to the existing area commands of Asaba, Ughelli and Warri, making a total of six area commands in the state.
The statement described the development 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.
The Delta State Compol therefore called for the co-operation of the indigenes of the state for immediate and smooth take-off of the newly established area commands, noting that already new area commanders have been deployed to the newly created area commands.
