"Get back to basics." This was the message echoed to members of the Central Provincial Police Command following the official handover ceremony between outgoing NCD/Central Deputy Commander Laimo Asi and Outgoing Central Provincial Police Commander, John Midi. The incoming Central PPC Asi stated that there is nothing much to change within the Command, but urged members to get back to working in unison with communities and refrain from other activities that may tarnish the name of the command. “Bring your mind back and take ownership of your command and continue to do what the outgoing PPC has set.” He said that discipline is priority and has warned that he will be not take discipline lightly if police personnel step out of line, adding that having the mandate to lead Central province he will be carrying on from where Outgoing PPC Midi had left off. Negative reports about ill-discipline and lack of professionalism in the command is what the new PPC has planned to address, adding that this is out of context and not in line with what the command stands for. “What I want is for you to do what you can do & do your best so we can achieve together.” He said the community policing approach has always been downplayed by members of the police force and his priority is to ensure that police can once again regain the confidence of the public and also ensure law and order is well kept and maintained. PPC Asi assumes his role today as the commander of Central Provincial Police.
