Female police officers have been urged to strengthen their cooperation, to ease the process in crime prevention, especially Gender Based Violence (GBV).
The appeal was made by RNP Commissioner for Human Resource Management and Development, ACP John Bosco Kabera at a workshop of Focal Point gender promotion police officers from all district police units in the country, held at Police General Headquarters in Kacyiru.
He urged them to be first actors in the anti-GBV campaign and gender promotion and to put discipline and professionalism at the forefront in their duties.
A total of seventy female officers attended the workshop organized by Rwanda National Police and sponsored by the United Nation Development Programme (UNDP).
Kabera told the participants to know their rights as female officers and to follow up closely the implementation of GBV principles in their respective units and to encourage female civilians to join the force.
IP Beline Mukamana, the Director of anti-GBV in Rwanda National Police, said the workshop will facilitate them to understand better on how to investigate and handle GBV cases and to better understand ant-GBV legal provisions.
Assistant Inspector of Police Theresie Mushimiyimana, one of the trainees said the workshop will give them further understanding and guidance in their responsibilities.
