This year has been quite a demanding year in terms of discipline for police officers.
This is due to the magnitude and the number of personnel in the command in the nation’s capital.
Superintendent Operations-Administration, Chris Tamari, said discipline matters have been a serious concern to the police hierarchy and command.
Tamari commended the outgoing metropolitan superintendent, Ben Turi, for his strength and character in his effort in dealing with disciplinary issues whilst still in office.
“I have worked with the former to deal with this discipline issue and I will continue to work with Mr. Perou N’Dranou to crunch down further on this issue to have it eradicated in the force.”
Tamari said it is now his intention to finalise all disciplinary matters by having the necessary discipline charges served on those officers so the force can be able to start 2018 on a clean slate.
That includes notice of penalty as well as serious and minor disciplinary charges.
He appeals to all officers of the police force to be professional in their conduct and to work within the confines of the law so disciplinary problems are minimised in the coming year.
He adds that from the management side of things, the command will make sure to gain back the confidence of the public by dealing with these matters accordingly and professionally.
