In a move aimed at improving working conditions and enhancing public safety, Hashaston Services, in partnership with the Sierra Leone Police Support Directorate, has carried out a comprehensive fumigation exercise at the AdelaideS Street Police Station on Saturday, 13 June 2026.
The exercise targeted pests and sanitation challenges within the facility and was conducted free of charge as part of Hashaston Services’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative.
The operation was designed to improve hygiene standards across the station, creating a safer and more comfortable environment for both police personnel and members of the public who access the facility.
Speaking on the initiative, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Allieu Turay, Director of Support Services, said the intervention aligns with the vision of the Inspector General of Police, William Fayia Sellu, to enhance the welfare of officers and improve operational conditions in police stations nationwide.
He noted that maintaining clean and healthy police environments is essential for effective service delivery and public trust.
Hashaston Services, which delivered the fumigation at no cost to the Sierra Leone Police, said the initiative reflects its commitment to community welfare and institutional support. The company added that it plans to extend similar sanitation and pest-control interventions to other police stations across Freetown as part of its broader CSR programme.
The Support Directorate described the exercise as the first in a series of planned sanitation improvements aimed at standardising hygiene across police facilities. It further indicated that with continued collaboration from Hashaston Services, similar interventions will be replicated in other stations to improve working conditions nationwide.
ACP Turay also called on other private sector organisations to emulate Hashaston Services by supporting initiatives that enhance the welfare and working environment of police officers. He emphasized that such partnerships contribute not only to improved staff morale and public health but also to more effective policing and stronger community trust.
