Police Senior Management has been called upon to work hard to improve performance and implementation development projects.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Keabetswe Makgophe made the call this morning (17/04/2013) in Gaborone, at a Senior Management Team meeting.

He said even though the police managed to reduce overall crime during the past year there are some offences such as murder, store breaking, rape and stock theft that continue to pose as a challenge.

He implored them to significantly strive to reduce the offences in order to achieve the set targets during  2013/2014 plan period.

The Commissioner appealed to commanders to influence their subordinates to do more and empower them with knowledge and skills so that they can contribute fully towards the success of the organisation.

Mr Makgophe, encouraged the commanders to strategically utilise the meagre resources that are at their disposal in order to meet customer expectations.

The meeting is intended to review progress of the objectives and initiatives of the Annual Policing Plan and appreciate progress on special projects allocated to various commanders.
