THE Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) must keep abreast with the latest technology to help expedite the process of collecting and obtaining information, said Dato Paduka Awang Haji Hamdan bin Haji Abu Bakar, Deputy Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office.
The deputy minister added that this would assist in “tackling the more sophisticated criminals”.
At the Police Day parade, held in conjunction with the 95th Police Day yesterday, the deputy minister said His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam paid serious attention to the peace in the country.
“Laws and regulations play an important role in the daily lives of the community,” said the deputy minister, quoting His Majesty’s titah during the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah’s Hari Raya celebration.
“Without laws, the community will be weak. Therefore, enforcement must be strong so that the country is not adversely affected.

“Every enforcement agency needs to be prepared and progress dynamically.”
He urged all enforcement agencies to carry out their responsibilities to raise confidence and get cooperation from the community.
He also lauded the success of the Neighbourhood Watch, crediting RBPF and district officers for reviving the initiative in December 2014.
“RBPF needs to work with the community. This would ensure a vital exchange of information.”
“RBPF needs to be approachable by the community to build trust and confidence.
At the same time, members of any community need to understand that they are also responsible for their own safety,” he added.
