dc.description.abstractPolice stations are an important and visible aspect of police force organisation. A survey was conducted in Ilorin metropolis to examine the spatial distribution of police stations and their correlation with crime prevention and control. Data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources, with 120 copies of questionnaire administered. Data on the spatial locations of police stations were obtained from reports, the Nigeria Police Force, and journals. The study revealed that the majority of residents in the area were underserved by police stations, indicating a shortage of police personnel to combat crime. The current ratio of one police personnel to 1,318 persons was far lower than the ratio of 1:450 persons recommended by the United Nations. The study recommended that the government recruit more personnel into the police force, apply physical planning mechanisms to strategically locate new police stations, and adopt new technologies, such as GIS, to combat crime.en_US
