Tsimako made these remarks during a press conference at the end of the senior officer's conference held in Gaborone on Friday.  He said the Botswana police have not been doing badly in their fight against crime. He said since last year, they have been targeting violent and intrusive offences.

"In the past year, we were committed to tackling crime head on," he said. He revealed that there has been a reduction in these offences by seven percent. He said initially they had aimed to reduce the crime by five percent.
