He reaffirmed the Command’s support for the Mayors in their respective domains but emphasized that security remains a collective responsibility that requires collaboration and cooperation.

CP Isa reminded the Mayors that as the Chief Security Officers of their localities, there need for close collaboration with the Police through their respective Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and Area Commanders.
