Otjozondjupa Regional Commander Commissioner Henrich Tjiveze issued a stern warning to police officers failing to perform their duties.

He said they are tarnishing the image of the law enforcement agency. 

Commissioner Tjiveze was speaking during a community meeting aimed at addressing complaints raised by Coblenz residents about the poor quality of service provided by the police. 

About three weeks ago, Commissioner Tjiveze sent an investigation team to investigate a complaint about the snailpace at which police responded to a stock theft at Coblenz.
