Community Policing Program Launched For Nine Mile

The National Capital District and Central Province police command has officially launched a community policing program at the Nine Mile Police Station. Assistant Commissioner Benjamin Turi, who champions this approach, mandated all police stations within his command to establish similar initiatives to foster engagement with local communities and enhance crime prevention efforts.

Commander Turi expressed his satisfaction with the newly established Nine Mile Police Station, highlighting its active role in community outreach. The Community Policing (COMPOL) team will proactively engage with residents, raising awareness about policing matters and fostering a collaborative environment. This specialized unit will work alongside school administrations, market management, and community leaders to conduct vital awareness campaigns.

While other police divisions continue their operational duties, the COMPOL team at Nine Mile will focus specifically on building relationships and trust within the community. This program aims to create a more visible and accessible police presence, encouraging residents to report issues and work together with law enforcement to improve safety and security in their areas.
