He stressed the need of personnel of the command to exhibit self discipline, saying that a personnel who exhibits self discipline would not be reminded of their duties as this would translate to respect for constituted authorities.
“Those who know me very well will attest that I don’t joke with discipline. Policemen must be disciplined and you must know how to relate with members of the public.
“Discipline is the bedrock of the police force and without discipline, we will not all be here, without discipline a constable will walk up to the AIG and say stand up I want to take over your seat.”
The AIG assured residents of Bayelsa and Rivers of his determination to work with the people to ensure that there is better policing and that peace and orderliness prevail.
