The newly transferred Regional Police Commander South, AIG Brima Kanneh has assured residents under his jurisdiction of quality policing. He assumed office on Monday 1 May 2023, replacing AIG Harold Andrew Michael Charles Hanciles who has gone on his leave to retirement.
Addressing pressmen upon his first day in office, AIG Kanneh underscored, he is happy to be in the region and noted that he's fully ready to carry out the force's core constitutional mandate which is to protect lives and property.
According to AIG Kanneh, he believes the Sierra Leone Police (SLP) cannot effectively and efficiently carry out its constitutional mandate in isolation but through partnership and collaboration. He informed he is therefore placing his emphasis on community policing and called on members of the public to always help the police with vital information that will aid them in their operations.
AIG Kanneh has declared war on lawlessness and all forms of crime and therefore strongly warned all to desist from criminal related offenses as culprits he says will be thoroughly investigated and charged to court without any delay.
In manifestation of his strong commitment to clamping down on hardcore criminals, AIG Kanneh registered his first arrest as police officers attached to the Fallah Checkpoint in Bo on Sunday 30 April, 2023 intercepted and arrested four suspects for the alleged possession of huge quantities of illicit drugs.
"This is my first arrest that was made yesterday. I can proudly say here that I have a very good operational team that is ready to tackle everything. Whosoever that has been caught with drugs will be charged and sent to court. So I will advise all those thinking themselves of being drug barons, addicts or traffickers to desist forthwith or face the strong arm of the law," he cautioned.
AIG Brima Kanneh has also assured residents in the region of providing a watertight security coverage before, during and after the June 24 General Elections.
Before being transferred to the region, AIG Kanneh had formally served as ADC to the Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh and has also served as the Director of Traffic and Road Safety.
Meanwhile, AIG Kanneh has profoundly thanked his predecessor AIG Hanciles for the good job he carried out in the region during his term. He described him as a good and hardworking man whom he had shared over 30 years of working relationship with in the force.
