I was bemused when I read (some years ago) the lamentation of our first security officer, the Inspector – General of Police (IG), on the pages of our newspapers that too many policemen were dying fighting armed robbers.
My heart goes out to these brave officers and men of the police force who have laid down their lives so that the rest of us may live in peace.
However, I ask myself: ‘Must they die? Must they die in such large numbers fighting crime?’ Something must be wrong! Maybe our strategy. Maybe our planning; maybe our intelligence gathering or surveillance system.
Now, it must be obvious to us all that it takes more than armoured tanks and high profile bullion vans to fight…
