IGP Warns OCPDs

Inspector General Of Police Tan Sri Bakri Omar reminded 145 district police chiefs (Officer in Charge of Police Distrct,OCPD) that they should be more sensitive when dealing with the public, especially regarding matters that may give rise to the issue of human rights. The IGP was speaking to these OCPDs attending a 3- day human rights seminar. He reiterated these officers were being taught human rights all the times, this seminar was also conducted to reinforce their understanding of the subject. If need be,this seminar can be extended to acheive the objective. If there were officers still can not understand, then they are advised to change jobs, "We don't want stupid officers..." he said. The IGP was frustrated after a series of incidents bringing the police force into disrepute recently. Bravo, well put,Tan Sri !
