Technology vital in policing - Kapinga

Acting Police Commissioner, Kenny Kapinga said this yesterday when he called for the acquisition of the new communication technology for the entire Botswana Police Service (BPS) as another way of combating the rising crime wave in the country.

"I become very envious as I travel around the world, when I see police officers in other countries complete with a communication device clipped on their belts and a portable microphone on their shoulders. It is my hope that in the not so distant future we would have made available such devices for our local troops," Kapinga said at the handing over ceremony of the second phase of the Tetra Radio Communication System supplied by Kudu Communications.
