The Deputy Commissioner of Police responsible for Central East Region Glinton Mitayi has urged community policing members to avoid in indulging in criminal activities when performing their daily duties.

The call was made on Wednesday at Traditional Authority Chiwere Headquarters in Dowa when Mitayi had an interaction with the community policing members and the business community.

Mitayi said it is very worrisome to learn that some community policing members are involved in criminal activities when performing their daily duties.

Deputy Commissioner Mitayi further explained that it is not healthy enough for community policing members to be involved in criminal activities and this should be stopped forthwith.

On her part, Officer In-charge for Dowa Police Station Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Jane Mandala hailed community policing members and business community under Traditional Authority Chiwere for working hand in hand with police for the district to be crime free.

She, however, urged community policing members and business community to avoid taking laws into their own hands in dealing with suspected criminals which results in mob justice and avoid damaging police infrastructures which renders injustice.

Chairperson for community policing forum members under Traditional Authority Chiwere Peter Kayedzekeka said community policing members are geared to work hand in hand with police in the fight against crime hence the need for collaboration effort between police and the community.
