The Officer-In-Charge (O/C) for Lingadzi Police Station Assistant Commissioner of Police Mr. Billy Chimbonga has rallied local communities to actively engage in addressing security issues plaguing society.
Chimbonga was speaking at an interface meeting organized by members of the Pastors Fraternal and other stakeholders, which was held at Chimbalame CCAP Church in Mtandile Township in Lilongwe.
During the meeting, Chimbonga emphasized that collaborative partnership with local communities is the best weapon to crackdown criminal activities.
“If you read Exodus 17 Verse 12 you will appreciate the need for collective effort in security.
“Moses prevailed in war against Amalek when Aaron and Hur helped him to stay his hands up. This is the collective effort we want,” said Chimbonga.
