LUSAKA, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- The head of the Zambia police on Tuesday assured that the police have heightened security measures during the festive season.
Kakoma Kanganja, Inspector of the Zambia Police said he has directed provincial police commissioners to deploy enough police officers to conduct both foot and motorized patrols.
"We therefore appeal to those celebrating to help us realize a crime-free festive season by playing their part in ensuring person safety," the police chief said.
According to him, it was evident that it was during the festive season when people are celebrating Christmas and New Year that criminals also take advantage of the situation to steal from people.
The police chief has since cautioned members of the public to be alert by sealing all security loopholes which may give criminals an opportunity to perpetuate their ill plans of attacking innocent people.
As Zambia Police Service, we guarantee members of the public maximum security by putting in place a number of security measures aimed at ensuring public peace and order, he added.
