‘Police invisible in communities’

NATIONAL police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi has urged police officers to improve their engagement with members of the public following complaints of police invisibility in communities.

Nyathi yesterday told police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga during the official opening of the three-day end of year workshop for provincial community relations and liaison officers (PCRLOS) in Harare — sponsored by civil society organisation Envision Women Trust Zimbabwe — that there was need for communities to support police activities.

“I call upon all participants to take advantage of this workshop to sharpen their acumen by acquiring the relevant knowledge which will assist them when they go back to the provinces,” Nyathi said.
