The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Emmanuel K. Gasana, during a pre-deployment briefing on Saturday, urged the officers to serve the people of South Sudan with dignity and discipline.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one year period that you will spend in peacekeeping mission should be a year of serving professionally, selflessness and dedication, while maintaining main objectives of the mission mandate,\u201d IGP Gasana told the officers<\/p>\n
\u201cTo achieve your mission mandate, you must uphold RNP and National values, know and do what\u2019s required” he added.<\/p>\n
The IGP reminded them always be quick to report to their superiors should they encounter any challenging situations<\/p>\n
He wished them a safe journey and again appealed to them to work as a team with other peacekeepers.<\/p>\n
