President Dr. Mokgweetsi Masisi has emphasized the urgent need to modernize the police force and adapt policing methods to effectively address the intricate security challenges of today. This call comes as criminals increasingly leverage technology to perpetrate nefarious activities. Addressing the 50th Botswana Police Service senior officers' annual conference in Gaborone on February 20, President Masisi highlighted the pervasive use of technology by criminals in society. With a significant portion of the population having access to information and communication technologies (ICT), policing encounters new hurdles as some individuals exploit these advancements for criminal purposes. The President expressed confidence that the conference would serve as a strategic platform for devising effective solutions to emerging security concerns. He urged attendees to thoroughly assess current and evolving crime threats to ensure the maintenance of peace and stability across all levels of society. President Masisi urged police leadership to remain adaptable and innovative in their strategies, considering the evolving landscape of human civilization, including the rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Artificial Intelligence. Criminals, he noted, adeptly utilize technology to orchestrate complex crimes, necessitating proactive and creative approaches from law enforcement. Emphasizing the enduring principles of effective policing, such as community partnerships and public trust, President Masisi cautioned against instilling fear or abusing power within the police force. He stressed the importance of cultivating a positive image that upholds integrity and serves the community's best interests. Recognizing the commendable efforts of the police force, President Masisi encouraged them to leverage positive feedback for further professional improvement. He urged police commanders to foster a culture of continuous learning and development, equipping officers with enhanced analytical skills to tackle complex issues. Furthermore, the President advocated for opportunities for officers to engage with international organizations like INTERPOL, AFRIPOL, SARPCCO, and the UN. Such engagements, he suggested, would bolster bilateral and multilateral relations, enhancing Botswana's international standing in law enforcement circles. In conclusion, President Masisi reiterated the imperative of modernizing policing methods to effectively combat contemporary security challenges while upholding the principles of integrity, community trust, and proactive engagement.
