Eastern Region Police Commissioner Chikondi Mkwate Chingadza told cops at the Police College in Zomba to stop showing up drunk because it breaks the rules and causes them to act unprofessionally during their shifts. She reminded officers that police bail does not cost anything, so they need to quit shaking down suspects for cash. Chingadza also warned against domestic violence after pointing out that family abuse pushes people toward taking their own lives.
The commissioner told residents to keep someone home watching their stuff during the holidays instead of leaving properties empty while everyone heads to the lake. Police Chaplain Martin Mwanyongo backed her up by saying officers who actually fear God tend to respect laws and other people's belongings better, and he asked supervisors to let cops attend religious services from Friday through Sunday.
