Officer In-Charge for Kanengo Police Station, Mrs Mercy Msonkho, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) has called for unity among her subordinates saying this is important in policing.
She made the advice last evening, 1 June 2024, during the station’s get together held at St Francis Catholic Parish Hall in the area. Msonkho noted that when officers unite and love one another, it is easy to share ideas on how to combat crime.
“I wish to urge you to love one another because it is only then that we can make this area safe and secure. Avoid insulting one another regardless of issues you may have against your friends and instead, I urge you to sort out issues amicably,” she advised.
On social media, Deputy Commissioner Msonkho said although it is helpful, if misused, social media can have a negative impact on police work. She therefore, said officers should avoid sharing classified information on social media platforms such as WhatsApp or Facebook warning she will punish anyone found doing so.
Chairperson for the organising committee, Superintendent Kondwani Nyondo thanked management for allowing the officers have such a time when they relaxed and refreshed themselves following their work. Nyondo also thanked companies and individuals who helped in various ways towards the success of the function.
On his part, Block leader Kanthepa of Area 25 B hailed the good partnership existing between police and community members saying this is important.
“We have been in good relationship for a long time now and inviting me to this get together is another big testimony of this good relationship. My appeal is that this state of affairs should continue because it is for the benefit of the community,” he said.
The function was aimed at allowing the officers to relax and refresh themselves.
