I knew that there are people who are very old among those people. Even in our forces, we have those who are very old. We examine them, and we take those who are very strong to monitor the election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Recently, some of the state-graduated police forces underwent refresher training aimed at empowering them in their role of protecting civilians and their property.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Yiep Joseph Inspector General of Police (IGP) Gen.
