He urged the public to remain vigilant and continue to embrace the “See Something, Say Something” campaign.
The Commissioner commended officers of the Command for their dedication but urged them to “redouble efforts to safeguard the state, uphold ethics, and shun brutality, corruption, or any act inconsistent with our noble profession.”
He noted that the third quarter was relatively calm and peaceful compared to previous periods, attributing the success to a blend of strategic operations and internal reforms. He reiterated that the Command’s mandate is to serve and protect with fairness, justice, and impartiality.
“Our credibility rests on professionalism, respect for human rights, and accountability. Each time officers meddle in civil matters, violate rights, or engage in corruption, we lose the trust of the public. This must stop, and it must stop now,” he emphasised.
