The meeting emphasized building a unified response to growing security concerns raised by residents and local businesses.
The Regional Commander, AIG Francis Brima Meinday, outlined teamwork and discipline as critical to successful policing operations, including raids, checkpoints, and intelligence-driven patrols.
Deputy Regional Commander, ACP Patrick Lahai Dumbuya underscored professionalism and public trust as key components of effective law enforcement.
Superintendent Koroma called for closer collaboration among units, noting that no single division can tackle the challenges alone.
