The Namibian Police have promoted over 4,000 officers, its first ever mass promotion of this scale.

The Inspector General of NamPol, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, says, "All promoted officers are expected to continue working hard, maintain a high level of discipline, and improve service delivery. You should not relax and feel that you have now become bosses! What you should always remember is that you are police officers, and your duty is to serve and protect the people."
