This includes Special Services Division, the Dog Unit, and all internal manpower of all units including all reservists in NCD.
“Our mission is very simple. Let this festive season be celebrated in its true meaning,” said Perou.
He said a large number of police personnel will be put out on the street to ensure that safety is guaranteed for the general public during the festive season.
