Police merger will heighten competition

Guest speaker at the graduation ceremony in Kanye yesterday deputy permanent secretary in the ministry of local government, Thatayaone Raphaka, warned that as government was planning to merge the local police with the Botswana Police Service competition for progression will be stiff.

"Your learning process does not end here. You should strive to make yourselves better officers. Personal development is important especially that you will be competing with those officers from the Botswana Police Service as you are about to become part of their special units," Raphaka warned.
