Lagos Deputy Police Commissioner sighted with Worn-Out Zip, standing beside Governor Sanwo-Olu

Dolapo buttressed her point with an adage that says – ‘neatness is next to godliness’ as it applies that looking good in a person is innate.   “A police officer at all time should portray an aura that radiates love. If you are dirty, people will retract and look down on you. If you are neat, people will like to come closer and associate with you. It is a natural law. And mind you, Police is your friend. So there must be a mutual understanding between the force and citizenry” she said.

Speaking further, Dolapo reiterates; “The belief that Nigerian police are always seen dressed shabbily, perhaps, is a reflection of our society and also based on our mentality. When the streets are filthy and unkempt psychologically, it robs off on the society, as well as the police. If the society encourages the police to be neat, they will be neat and this includes inter-personal relation and attitude towards a policeman. Looking at Police Officers in the western world, you don’t get to see them look dirty. They look clean and still do their work and fight crime. In fighting crime, you can still look very good.”
