He said the immediate establishment of a new tactical team is in view of the need to fill the void created by the dissolution of the defunct SARS “particularly during the ‘EMBER Month’ traditionally characterized by an upsurge in armed robbery and other violent crimes in the country”.

He enjoined citizens to be patient and believe in the reform processes which are all “directed at ensuring the security, safety and rights of all”.
