Deputy Police Commissioner Dr. Philip Mitna has announced a crackdown on retired officers still living in police barracks despite receiving their entitlements. Dr. Mitna said some retirees have been allowed to stay due to their expertise in prosecution and investigations, but others are occupying space needed for new recruits. “We have a retirement program, but funding is limited,” he said. “If retirees have been paid, they have no reason to remain, and we will enforce evictions.” The enforcement will start in the National Capital District and major centers before expanding to districts. The police force also plans to demolish outdated barracks and build new accommodations for serving officers. Dr. Mitna emphasized the need for better communication between headquarters and provincial commands to address challenges in policing and resource management.
