Policemen Urged To Perform Duties Seriously

Bandar Seri Begawan – Officers and personnel of the Royal Brunei Police are urged to take seriously their responsibilities in safeguarding the security, peace and tranquillity of the nation.

Dato Haji Abdul Rahman Bin Haji Johan, Commissioner of Police, made the call at a parade marking the 83rd Police Day anniversary at the Police Training Centre in Gadong yesterday.

“It is of utmost importance that every staff of the police force associate and cooperate with people from all walks of life so that the responsibility of maintaining peace and security in the country could be shouldered together,” he said.

He believed that the public's negative perception of the force could be rectified by concerted efforts in the implementation of projects through the neighbourhood crime watch.

The police commissioner called on all personnel of the force to further upgrade the quality of service and to make it a prerogative in executing their daily duties in particular in dealing with the public.

“All forms of crimes such as terrorism and trans-national crimes, to name a few, are challenges that need to be dealt with effectively,” he pointed out.

Ten police officers, including those from the rank in file and civilian staff received certificates of appreciation for their outstanding service.

A field performance of combat drill by the police reserve unit lent colour to yesterday's event.
