Inspector General of Police (IGP) tour of Police units which took place across the country continued in the Eastern Province where he was inspecting police activities in the region.
According to the police statement, in his address to police officers at different District Police Units, IGP Emmanuel K. Gasana noted that it was imperative that the welfare of police officers improve.
He told police officers that with better welfare police will be able to fully focus on their duties and thus avoid getting involved in criminal activities such as corruption.
Several initiatives have been commenced to improve welfare of Police officers. For example the Police housing scheme in Gishali is aimed at providing non- commissioned police officers with houses.
Not only that, Rwanda National Police provides education opportunities to police officers to help them carry out their work. So far many police officers have benefited from this initiative.
“We are always thinking of police welfare and to that end we have also ensured that police force have enough equipment, ensure that police officers are settled and in comfortable working environment through the force balance program and we continue to think of other initiatives that would improve the lives of police officers,” IGP Gasana pointed out.
