Hail To Royal Malaysian Police


Rebranding Of Police Force To Regain Public Confidence, Says Musa
KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 (Bernama) -- Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said Wednesday the 200-year-old Royal Malaysia Police has to undergo rebranding to regain public confidence in its credibility.
"I have to make changes for the better for the rebranding of the force," he said in an interview on the "Selamat Pagi Malaysia" programme over Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) in conjunction with the bicentennial Police Day on March 25.
Musa said the first step in the rebranding exercise would be to introduce the new vision and mission of the force in conformity with the theme of Police Day activities, "Royal Malaysia Police Towards Global Distinction".
In principle, the aspects emphasised by him included enhancing the level of training of newly recruited police officers and men.
Musa said he also aspired to upgrade the efficiency of investigation by the police and its forensics unit in view of the transnational nature of crime involving international syndicates.
He also wanted to improve the service scheme of the force in a move to attract more people into building themselves a career in the field of policing.
Musa said a fresh sense of integrity would be instilled in the 97,000 officers and men of the force by bringing them closer to the people, particularly youths, as a proactive measure to keep the people away from crime.
He noted that international syndicates used the country as a transit point for activities such as prostitution, drug trafficking and firearms smuggling, and movement of criminals.
As such, the force had taken the proactive measure of seeking the people's cooperation in feeding it information on such activities through the Rakan Cop programme that has been expanded to cover the whole country last year, he said.
Furthermore, he said, the police had also taken the initiative to bolster the scientific methods of retrieving criminal evidence to ensure that detained suspects did not escape prosecution.

tunku : tan sri we hope you succeed in rebranding the police force.we really respect this institution and hope that it will be at the best standard.i know it's quite impossible to have 100% marks for the police but if you can achieve 90% it would be great.
