Roba added that the 383 officers will play a key role as community solution providers, civic protection duties and are expected to demonstrate respect for human rights, by operating within the confines of the law.
“I urge you, to always uphold high integrity and ethical standards, as you execute your public service mandate, please serve our nation diligently,” added Roba.
