Integrity, service delivery, people’s welfare top IGP’s focus for force

KUALA LUMPUR – Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani has outlined three key focus points to make the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) one that safeguards peace, with integrity and serves the community.

He said this includes strengthening integrity among personnel, strengthening the service delivery system and continuing the government’s efforts to maintain the well-being of society.

“To ensure that this is achieved (strengthening integrity), PDRM has to organise programmes to brief personnel on the matter, hence, the need for all state police contingent headquarters, district police headquarters and police stations to conduct in-service training (LDP),” he said in Bukit Aman, here, recently.

Acryl Sani said the LDP should be conducted at least once a week to brief the staff on current issues.

He expressed the need for reforms in PDRM’s work culture to enhance the integrity of the force.

“PDRM will never hide any criminal offence, misconduct, corruption or indiscipline among its personnel,” he added.

On strengthening the service delivery system, Acryl Sani said this is not confined to the service provided at police stations and roadblocks, but also anywhere that involves interaction between police and the community.

This in is line with PDRM’s slogan “Ready to Serve”, he added.

The slogan, he said, should be applied by all PDRM personnel, not only when serving the community, but also among fellow force members.

Acryl Sani also gave his assurance that the welfare of police retirees will not be neglected.

“I’ll instruct all district police chiefs to update information on police retirees, like their addresses, to the Police Retiree Unit in Bukit Aman,”  he added.

Meanwhile, on the third focus, Acryl Sani said the police will continue assisting the government in curbing the spread of Covid-19 and ensuring standard operating procedures (SOPs) are complied with by the people.

He said said police will also continue to help the government attempt to break the chain of Covid-19 infections. – Bernama, May 7, 2021
