IG Kachama urges vigilance in criminal investigations

The course has brought together 33 officers, including 12 females.

It seeks to drill the officers in criminal procedure and evidence code, investigative skills, patrols and resource management, among other areas.

“The role of police is to protect lives and property in society and we are optimistic that this training will equip these managers with skills to impart to their subordinates which is crucial in crime prevention,” he said.

One of the participants, Superintendent Charles Nandolo, said the training is vital as it will enable them to make sound decisions when they return to their duty stations.

“We will focus on being responsive and accountable police officers to the communities for peace to prevail in the country,” he said. n

  1. A waste of tax payers money………this is the same police that always stand by to safe guard their jobs when the young democrats are unleashing havoc to political opponents and ordinary Malawians .
    This is the very same police that is responsible for Robert Chasowa’s murder and many others we don’t know about….
    And yes indeed, it is the same police that has guns for hire to robbers who are terrorising ordinarily Malawians every night.
    Shame on this highly politicised police force that only preforms when sent out for peace keeping missions in other countries but fails to perform professionalry in their own homeland becoz of politics and corruption.
