The Minister of Defence, Justice and Security Ndelu Seretse has instructed senior police officers to be aggressive when dealing with suspected criminals.

He said that a little aggression by the police would not hurt, as suspected criminals have shown no mercy in their operations.“We acknowledge that there are some special response teams, but it seems like they do not have the required little aggression to deal with the criminals,” he said

He added that they will discus more on how to be aggressive towards suspected criminals in their closed sessions in the absence of the media. Amongst other things the minister called on senior officers to consider the use of technology in policing, citing examples such as safer cities, special investigation units to deal with serious, violent and sophisticated crime and the creation of crime analysis functions, formation of cyber crime and computer forensics unit as well as border patrol capability to mention but a few.
