The visiting Director General for Central African Republic (CAR) National Police, Dhesse Zokoue Bienvenu has lauded Rwanda’s policy of gender equality, which he said that it also adds value in policing.
DG Zokoue, who is in Rwanda since Sunday for a week-long visit, made the remarks while visiting various Rwanda National Police (RNP) facilities and capabilities in Musanze and Rubavu districts.
He visited the National Police College (NPC) in Musanze District, Werstern Region Police Unit (RPU), La Corniche One Stop Border Post with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Rubavu District, where he witnessed how Police controls traffic at the border and technology used.
DG Zokoue lauded how RNP maintains security at the border, the available technology and the way the policy of gender equality is valued in Rwanda National Police.
“I appreciate the hard work you do here at the border. The flow of people crossing borders is high, and if there is no strategic security frame work, people can cross illegally,” DG Zokoue said.
“I am also impressed by the technology RNP uses to surveil the flow of vehicles and the level achieved in respect of gender equality because I have seen a large number of women police officers on duties,” he added.
At NPC, DG Zokoue was given an overview of the College, academic and professional courses offered and toured the Police Senior Command and Staff Course (PSCSC) wing.
He also addressed Police students attending the PSCSC and challenged them to use the knowledge and skills acquired to create security improvements in their respective countries.
“We thank the Rwandan leadership for this idea to establish this College. You have to follow these courses carefully and not be left in the lurch, keep in mind that the security of your home countries and Africa in general is your responsibility collectively,” said DG Zokoue.(End)
