Police Commissioner Warns Not to Turn Away Anyone

Police Commissioner Major General Antony Anderson on Monday charged several of his commanders and officers not to turn away anyone seeking their help, despite their socio-economic or physical appearance.

This after news of several incidents of the police allegedly refusing to serve or protect citizens seeking their help. 

The Commissioner says building a force for good will require a new approach to policing, one that caters to all. 

Many are enraged after a video making the rounds on social media show a man who appeared injured during an arrest.

Allegations are that the man was being arrested because he was not wearing a mask, breaching the Disaster Risk Management Act, DRMA.

Police say the incident took place Friday in the half way tree bus park.
