"These terrible acts have caused so much suffering, and we're going to do everything we can to stop them. Improving Police services, this includes addressing corruption, getting police more involved with communities, and upgrading stations and equipment.‘’

"Regaining the public's trust is crucial, and that means fixing issues like corruption and connecting better with neighbourhoods. Targeting Organised Crime Specialised units will tackle complex criminal networks in areas like drug smuggling and fraud,’’ he added.
