PENAMPANG: Penampang district police chief DSP Ratan Kumar Singh yesterday handed over his duty to DSP Azmi Abdul Razak who will be the officer-in-charge of Penampang for three months.

Ratan will take on his new post as the Assistant Commander to the General Operational Force (Unit 20) in Beluran.

Witnessing the handover of position yesterday was the administration chief of police headquarters, Senior Commissioner of Police Mohd Yusof.

Yusof said that he hoped the High Profile Policing programme in Penampang would be continued.

“The High Profile Policing programme helps to strengthen the relationship between the public and the police.

“Many members of the public are still intimidated or afraid of police, and this programme will bring the police closer to the people,” he said.

Yusof also stated that with the appointment of a new police chief in Penampang, he hoped the crime rate in the district could be reduced.
