“The command under my watch will not tolerate any act of indiscipline, brutality, unprofessional behaviour and incivility to members of the public.”

The commissioner, who condoled with the family of the victim, gave an assurance of justice and fairness in the matter.

He said the police were conscious of the human rights and importance of members of the public in the fight against crimes and urged them to continue to collaborate with the command.
