I thought this should be the minimum requirement of the police force, it should be in their DNA, so it appears they pick and choose. No wonder the DPP is unable to secure a conviction in straight forward cases.
The press officer should have think twice about the last sentence especially knowing the stigma surrounding policing.
those we vote into public office goes to house of assembly and put laws on the books thereafter the police department in force such laws
