– Commander Pareshram urges ranks

COMMANDER of Regional Division Four ‘A’, Senior Superintendent, Khali Pareshram, has advised over 300 police ranks to practise tolerance when executing their duties and to take up every opportunity to enhance their education.

The Commander made the plea during an inspection of the various stations, outposts and departments of the division in the compound of the Brickdam Police Station.

The ranks were physically inspected, a few irregularities were observed and they were later warned that disciplinary measures will be instituted if there is a repeat. The Commander, in his brief remarks, charged the ranks to take all necessary precautions and to adhere to the COVID 19 rules and regulation, in an effort to keep their colleagues, families and themselves safe in the midst of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, in an invited comment, Commander Pareshram underscored that the emotional and physical health of the ranks are important if they are expected to execute their duties effectively and efficiently.

He also urged members of the public to also adhere to the rules and regulations.

“It takes an entire community working with the police to sustain long-term public safety…we must reimagine policing so that it relies less on physical interventions and more on community,” the Commander said.

He added: “Villages across the country must take immediate steps to ensure that everyone responsible for public safety—law enforcement and the community—is protected from this virus and future pandemics.”
