Commissioner’s meet focuses on integrity
BY MIRIAM ZARRIGA
The annual Police Commissioner’s Conference was opened yesterday by Chief Ombudsman Michael Dick who stressed the importance of integrity.
Mr Dick said that integrity was the honesty, uprightness, trustworthy, responsible and ethics of all police officers and those not within the police force.
“Success will come when people will respect an institution for its integrity,” he said.
“Integrity of an institution is reflected on its integrity of its management.”
“What you are expected to be and what you intend to do means the same both in public and private he added, why is integrity important for those in positions of power? The whole world is looking for leaders with integrity; we need leaders with integrity in all leaders of governance.”
Leadership integrity was essential and officers needed to understand why integrity was important, he said.
Police Commissioner Gari Baki stressed the importance of the conference, summarising it in one word, “integrity”.
“We wear the rank and thus the expectation of the rank, as I always tell you, rank is a privilege and the privilege of this rank, bears you to ensure the integrity of the rank you wear amounts to everything you do.
“It goes to a very simple connotation the Chief Ombudsman has made the integrity reflects on the kind of person you are the ability to command and control those under your command your ability to make decisions, to do things and stand up in eyes of public to be able to discuss things and maintain discipline and be honest,” Mr Baki said.
“Look to those above you in rank, it all reflects on one simple word ‘integrity’.
“I want you to reflect on yourselves personally and reflect in the sense of what has been said has any effect on you as an individual, this organisation has suffered too long it’s time we turn back the discipline.”
More accountability was needed for officers’ actions, Mr Baki told his officers.
All senior officers nationwide were in the nation’s capital to meet for a three-day conference that will end tomorrow afternoon at Dixie’s Bungalow, 17-Mile.
