The Police Chief Myo Swe Win stated the above at a meeting held last Thursday [May 12] in the midst of Mon State Police Force’s 100-day program at the Yarmanya Zarni Hall of the State Police Office, Moulmein, the capital of Mon State.

About 90 representatives from the township’s police force as well as high-ranking police officials were present at the meeting.

“We reflected intently on the weak and strong points of Myanmar’s police force. Specifically, regarding the improvement of a people centered approach to be in accordance with the era of democracy. We hope that we can find ways to implement a police force for the people after making our analysis,” said Police Chief Myo Swe Win at the meeting.

Police Chief Myo Swe Win continued that to identify and solve the problems that the public is facing, the public and police force must cooperate. It is necessary for the police and the people to meet with each other and connect as much as possible.

“During these 100 days, to reduce criminal cases, we are conducting many patrols. We are also carrying out cases that the public report in a timely fashion. Regarding drug cases, we have arrested drug dealers and users not only after receiving reports from the public, we ourselves also seek out these cases,” said Police Chief Bo Bo Oo, of Mon State Police Force.

Police Chief Bo Bo Oo added that the police are ready to help people when they are facing hardships due to extreme weather. If the police in their assigned township do not carry out their tasks, they will be held accountable and ask to explain themselves. If they take a bribe, they will face charges in accordance with the country’s police law.

During the 100-day program, police have arrested 6 operations involving drugs, 2 incidences of gambling, 8 cases of non-licensed vehicles and apprehended 10 brothels. Concurrently, they also helped provide water to the villagers in need.
