The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command on Monday launched activities for the 2026 National Police Day with a sanitation exercise and free medical outreach in Area 1, Abuja, in a move aimed at strengthening community relations and promoting public health.
The exercise, led by the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Muhammad, saw officers and residents participate in a coordinated clean-up of the area, clearing waste and improving environmental hygiene.
Alongside the sanitation drive, the Command organised a free medical outreach, offering basic healthcare services to residents, particularly targeting vulnerable groups who may have limited access to medical care.
The initiative reflected the Nigeria Police Force’s growing emphasis on community-oriented policing, extending its role beyond security to include social responsibility and public wellbeing.
Residents of Area 1 who benefited from the outreach commended the police for the intervention, noting that the effort not only improved the cleanliness of the environment but also provided timely access to healthcare services.
The FCT Police Command said the activities mark the beginning of a series of programmes lined up to commemorate the 2026 National Police Day, adding that it remains committed to people-centered policing, collaboration, and effective service delivery.
More events are expected to be held across the territory as the celebration continues.
