According to the statement, “He averred the need for technology-driven policing to curb crime and criminality along the highways in both Lagos and Ogun States, having a vast knowledge of the terrain, while re-emphasizing the need to work in collaboration with major relevant stakeholders to ensure a safe environment for members of the public.”

He further stressed on the need to say something when they see something.
