Senior Assistant Commissioner Mekia Tanyanyiwa said the force played a critical role to protect and safeguard the interests of Zimbabwe.
He was speaking at the graduation parade of 27 Support Unit inductees and 38 instructors at the Support Unit Depot in Harare last week.
“I challenge you to ensure that you not only cultivate an enabling economic environment but you also take part in economic development,” said Snr Asst Comm Tanyanyiwa.
“Your involvement in the economic turnaround programmes like the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment should be above board ,as the nation we will always be banking on you to play your part dutifully.”
He said the force did not tolerate corruption among its officers.
“A lot of young people have seen their very own dreams crumbling at their feet due to corruption,” he said.
“ Stay away from activities that do not conform to ethical policing dictates.”
On a social note, Snr Asst Comm Tanyanyiwa warned the graduands to behave saying HIV and Aids pandemic was wreaking havoc.
“May I therefore warn you all that indulging in unsafe sexual behaviour exposes you to the deadly HIV virus,” said Snr Asst Comm Tanyanyiwa.
The best students were presented with certificates of merit.Among them were Kumbirai Bakuri, Tsitsi Mazhindu and Michael Dangirwa with Hove Dumisani being the most disciplined student and Rutendo Sadindi the best shottist.
