Malaysian Police have come under a barrage of criticism but Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan vows to arrest the problem and regain public trust
A MASSIVE restructuring and reorganising of the police force is under way with Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan (pic) declaring that the force has to increase its capacity of training to acquire new and better policing skills.
The move is timely as the public’s perception of the police has never been so critical in view of recent happenings that saw scores of reports being lodged against the force.
“I’m very aware of what is happening and being said of the force. That is why we are in the midst of restructuring our training and policing skills to ensure all personnel are professional and truly live up to our motto of being Firm, Fair and Courteous.
“We have never encouraged or condoned corruption, race discrimination, brutality or indiscipline in the force,” Musa said.
The IGP, known to be strict and firm with his men, recently issued a strong warning not only to the rank-and-file but also to officers and commanders to buck up and toe the line.
He has on numerous occasions stressed that he only wants dedicated men with high integrity in the force.
“We must be prepared to meet the challenges ahead in this borderless world with criminals being more brazen in committing crime.
“There is no room for complacency and anyone who cannot live up to the expectations of the force and public should leave. There are many others out there who are keen to join the force,” he said.
As part of his long-term plan, Musa said he had recently submitted a proposal to the Govern-ment to expand the force, including having three deputy IGPs - for administration, intelligence and operations.
This would help achieve its five-year strategic plan for professionalism and being a world-class force.
Musa said police recently formulated a new strategy in which various departments combined their efforts in investigating and combating crime apart from introducing community policing. “Previously, if it was a CID case only the CID would investigate. But with the combined efforts of officers from the Special Branch, Narcotics Crimes Investigating Department, Commercial Crimes and the General Operations Force, we now have better success.
“We are constantly finding new ways to improve ourselves and we need public support to ensure that crime is kept in check,” he added.
