The police are stepping up their commitment to provide safety and security with the inauguration of a new police station at Endola in the Endola constituency of the Ohangwena Region.

The police station, which was constructed for N$42.5 million, is part of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security's efforts to bring services closer to the people.

Minister Albert Kawana says that the new facility, which is equipped with modern technology and 18 uniformed personnel, has all the tools needed to combat crime. 

In its efforts to bring police services closer to the community, the police have inaugurated a police station at Onderombapa in the Aminuis Constituency. 

The fully equipped station has a borehole, a water tank, and a vehicle worth N$6 million. 

During the inauguration, Police Inspector General, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, stressed that the establishment of a police station is an affirmation of the urgency placed on the safety of residents.

Oshakati's informal settlement of Onawa has benefited from a donation of N$3,2 million from two businesses.

The funds will be used to construct a police station, which will greatly enhance the safety and security of the residents.

The two businesses, Multilever, which donated N$3 million, and Sash Trading, which donated N$200 000, say they recognised the urgent need for improved law enforcement infrastructure in the area.

Aussenkehr, a settlement located on the banks of the Orange River, is known for its agricultural activities, particularly the cultivation of table grapes, which are exported to Europe.

The settlement has a primary school, a government clinic, a police station, and a shopping centre.

Despite being a billion-dollar industry, the farmworkers in the vineyards in Aussenkehr live in harsh conditions, lacking access to clean water, sanitation, and basic services.

The Namibian Police has commissioned a station at Kalimbeza in Kabbe North in response to criminal activities happening in the area.

The Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security, Dr. Albert Kawana, says the police presence not only gives security assurance to the community but to visitors alike.

The police have in recent years been making their presence felt in the region by opening new stations; they have commissioned one for Kalimbeza.

Fumu of the Hambukushu Erwin Munika Mbambo asked NamPol's Inspector General of the Police, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, why the police are not constructing a police station in Mukwe.

Fumu Mbambo said this when Lieutenant General Shikongo paid a courtesy call on him.

The Namibian Police are making significant progress in infrastructural development in all 14 regions.

This was said by the Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security, Dr. Albert Kawana, when he inaugurated the Nkurenkuru Police Station in the country's youngest region, Kavango West.

The station, constructed at a cost of more than N$108 million, consists of a charge office, four holding cells, 42 offices, a doctor's consulting room, cell blocks, four vehicles, fuel tanks, and various other amenities.

Police officers posted at Olupale in the Okongo Constituency will see their living conditions improved in the near future.

After a recent visit to the police station, Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security, Dr Daniel Kashikola says plans are to set up proper infrastructure there.

The Olupale Police Station was set up in 2008 and currently has 14 staff members accommodated in tents.

Dr Kashikola says plans to build barracks, a charge office, a kitchen and a dining hall are all on the cards.
