While addressing police officers and members of public, Mr. Kanja lauded the police-public partnership, particularly the effort made by the area MP and the CDF committee to construct the station. The DIG indicated that his core responsibility is to ensure that the Service maintains good relationship with the public.
He added that members of the public should visit the station fre
ely and report criminal activities going on in the area in the spirit of community policing.
After listening to the many requests put to him, the DIG assured all local leaders that the concerns would be addressed, and that the first step would be to improve infrastructure at the newly opened station.
