Just a distraction from corrupt C**ins mess
Commissioner please be aware that officers at the front desk are reluctant to share your contact number with the public.
Officer J*** ****8op*** was 1 of the worst female office in 2000, after she got in trouble look like she learn that she's not that powerful, now I see she trying to be a decent officer good luck to her
Talking from experience, and what i see.
Both the Commissioner of Police and the female Deputy Commissioner please go and teach the officers to give evidence in court and stop begining to think that Policing is a popularity or taking photo thing. But again you can't teach something if you can not do it.
Been their and done that.

Women dominate work in banks hospital, trust companies, teaching, hospitality industry, healthcare most office work men don’t come in complaining, maybe men need to start our own group for equality in those areas
