“The idea is to give them a sense of belonging is that when recruited they will be given the police uniform but the only difference will be the signal, the badge, so that one can give them that sense of belonging and they will now see the police as our police not their police.”

The CP applauded the PCRC’s contributions and support towards fighting crime in the state, and urged members of the PCRC to further corporate with the police command to make the state free of criminal activities.
