The DG DSS and IGP, who was in company of other senior Police officers, were briefed on NAF air and space borne assets that could be deployed to support the police and DSS operations on the highway to improve security of commuters. They were also intimated that Quick Response Squads (QRS), comprising NAF Regiment and Special Forces (SF) personnel, would also sustain ground patrols, working in close coordination with sister Services, the NPF and other security agencies.
They were later conducted on a tour of the GIDC and the new Strategic Air Operations Centre, where they were given more detailed briefings on how the capabilities of the centres could be leveraged to enhance their operations.
