He called for more public relation practitioners and experienced officers to take up the manning of the front desk to further improve the image of the police among the public.
He called for a more welcoming environment around the front desk with conviniences to make it more inviting to the people.
Other contributors at the workshop called for an improved synergy, better welfare and improved funding for the police, they also make a case for more respect for our police officers as well as better understanding of the very horrific political and economic conditions under which they operate.
