The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Emmanuel K Gasana has appealed to judicial and Community Policing officers to evaluate themselves and put much effort in accomplishing their tasks.
IGP Gasana made the call on Wednesday while officially opening five-day training of 97 regional and district judicial and community policing officers, held at the police headquarters in Kacyiru.
The training seeks to harmonise the officer’s activities and equip them with more understanding on the community policing concept.
He urged them to devote to their work and offer quality services, to harness campaign against crimes.
Though the level of crimes is a downward trend, the Police chief said much effort is needed, especially in working with communities to prevent security threats like drug abuse and domestic violence.
“If you commit to your duties and work with communities, the level of crimes will decrease further,” he observed.
“We are the first line in crime prevention, and time is not our friend. Our task is to have positive trend”, he explained.
He told them to use the opportunity share experience and devise efficient strategies to fight crimes.
Assault, theft, drug abuse and sexual related crimes are the most registered offences committed, according to the latest security report.
