Abba vowed to devote considerable energy to changing the attitude of the rank and file of the Police. He said he would take measures to change the way Police officers relate with each other and the way they relate with the people they serve. “We need to have a change of attitude. When we do that, we will see new Police that are mindful of values – values of hard work, loyalty and ethics,” he said. The Inspector-General expressed confidence that by the time he concludes his attitudinal reform of the Police, the men and officers would be more ethical and committed to duty. He extended a hand of fellowship to the FCT Administration through increased partnership between it and the Police.
