Commissioner CWR visits proposed site for Biwi Police Unit

MALAWI: Mr Peter Chasweka, PPM, the Commissioner of Police responsible for the Central West Region (CWR), paid an impromptu visit to a proposed site for the construction of a listening police unit at the Biwi business hub, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Kawale policing area, writes Sub Inspector Mabvuto Phiri, PRO-Kawale Police Station.

The Commissioner's blessings were also extended to Area 24 and 36 Police Units during his visit to the two sister formations.

The purpose of the visit was for him to appreciate the site and to give his approval as the Central Region's top boss.

"Our game plan is to bring the police closer to the community and the construction of a listening police unit here at Biwi will help to make this happen," said Commissioner Chasweka.

Chasweka also instructed the project's team leaders to have a common understanding that once the unit is operational, it will be available to everyone in Biwi and the surrounding areas.

The Commissioner used the opportunity to condemn acts of mob justice and attacks on police units, as well as to encourage amicable ways of resolving grievances between police and community members.

"This project has come at the right time when police are revitalizing relationships with the community to curb crime," added Chasweka, PPM.
