EIGHT new vehicles were presented to the National Capital District Command to be handed over to station commanders for official police work at their respective stations.
Deputy Police Commissioner Administration, Joanne Clarkson made the official presentation last week Wednesday.
“These new police vehicles have been purchased to support the station managements and enable PSCs to provide leadership at the stations during and after working hours to ensure their officers are there conducting their duties.” she said.
She said the Constabulary is empowering the NCD command to conduct their duties in a manner that reflects the RPNGC’s Corporate plan.
“Working in partnership with the divisional commanders all around the country, is what we can do to strengthen the first two pillars of our corporate plan, maintaining public safety and our investigation and prosecutions.” she added.
Clarkson urged that the vehicles were purchased from funds saved and must be well cared for.
In addition, RPNGC Transport Director, Chief Superintendent, Joseph Joe stressed on the importance and use of the vehicles, saying, resources acquired through public funds must be well administered for the interest of the citizens.”
He urged the PSCs to value these assets, work together as a team and serve the interest of the public.
Meanwhile, NCD Metropolitan Superintendent, Gideon Ikumu who received the vehicles on behalf of the Station Commanders within the city acknowledged receipt of these resources and urged all PSCs to step up and effectively pursue their duties.
“As station commanders and section heads, you sit in between ACP-NCD/Central and Metsupt and the police personnel assigned and are directly responsible for the command and control of daily activities that occur at your stations.”
“These new vehicles will ease your burden to ensure you (PSCs) are inspecting your stations during and after hours to ensure your officers are working.” Ikumu added.
The ceremony concluded with a documentation signing between the Deputy Police Commissioner and NCD Metsupt to officiate the handover of the new vehicles.
