Mobility is one of the biggest challenges in investigating crimes, particularly those related to fraud cases and other significant cases, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police Special Operations Donald Yamasombi.
DCP Yamasombi, while thanking the RPNGC management for presenting three new vehicles to the National Fraud Squad Directorate this morning (Friday, May 30, 2025), stated that police officers need vehicles to move around to collect evidence, pick up eyewitnesses, and conduct crime scene investigations. He said the presentation of vehicles to the National Fraud Division is a great bonus for them to boost their work performance.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) looking after RPNGC Logistics, Chris Smith, while presenting the cars to the division, added that the presentation is part of the refleeting that RPNGC is doing to do away with hired cars. He said hired cars had eaten up a lot of money that was supposed to be used for other things, like renovating barracks or taking care of the police officers’ welfare.
ACP Smith also challenged the officers to make sure the vehicles are brought in for service when they are due for service. He said that is the only way the vehicles will be looked after and will serve their purpose for a long period.
Hodges Ette, the ACP for Crimes, while receiving the keys of the three vehicles, thanked the RPNGC management for the timely presentation of the vehicles because of the number of cases that are piling up for investigation. He said the vehicles will now assist the National Fraud Squad members in carrying out investigations into the reported cases.
