Police PRO Calls For Public Cooperation
By Saikou Ceesay
In an exclusive interview with the Foroyaa recently, the Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Sulayman Secka, said crime in The Gambia is moderately low. He indicated that they have kept armed robbery in rural areas in check, adding that the Police Intervention Unit (PIU) has been decentralised to all regions in the country.
Mr. Secka assured Foroyaa that armed robbery will continue to decrease considerably as the PIU are doing well in both rural and urban areas.
When asked what the police force are doing in protecting the lives and properties of the citizens, Mr. Secka pointed out that they are doing all they could to protect the lives and properties of all citizens and non-citizens in the country. He said to ensure that this is done new police stations have been opened in various parts of the country; that there is constant patrol in the Greater Banjul Area to make sure that peace and tranquility prevail. Mr. Secka added: “We need the cooperation of the general public”.
He assured Gambians that the police are their servants and partners and are here to serve Gambians to the best of their abilities in the protection of lives and properties. Mr. Secka maintained that the police alone cannot do it all. He said they need the co-operation of the general public. “The community are the police and police are the community” stressed the Police PRO. Mr. Secka urged the public to come forward and join hands with the police to make The Gambia a crime free country.
