He vowed that the state government would deploy adequate resources to ensure that militants and oil vandals threatening the peace of the state were flushed out.
The Mr Idirs told the Governor that his mission was to visit Police formations and assess areas where major operations were being conducted.
He commended the Lagos State government for its support to security agencies in the state.
The Police boss, who initially arrived at the Lagos Police Command Headquarters, had earlier went into a closed door meeting with community leaders in the state.
