This document summarizes a report on strategic improvements for the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) based on a 2005 Royal Commission report. The summary identifies three major themes for improving the RMP: strategy, implementation, and politics. For strategy, the report recommends establishing clear goals and maintaining public support. For implementation, it identifies issues with human resource management like recruiting and training. It also notes a lack of external accountability. The summary recommends developing staff capacity, ensuring compliance with standard operating procedures, and managing organizational culture, particularly eliminating a culture of impunity. An independent police oversight body is seen as critical for reform.

INTRODUCTION
The job of leading a local law enforcement agency has always been a complex one,
requiring skills in mastering complex policy issues, developing organizational structures and
systems, managing employees, and addressing the various and sometimes conflicting
expectations of the community, political leaders, agency employees, and the news media.

Many experienced police chiefs are saying that the 21

Century has brought a trend
toward even greater complexity in their jobs. New types of technology are revolutionizing how
police departments operate, and often the challenge is to make sound decisions about how to
integrate multiple forms of technology. The widespread adoption of community policing has
resulted in community members having higher expectations of accountability and efficiency in
their police departments. National and international economic conditions have strained local
police budgets. The workforce is changing in ways that affect police recruiting and retention.
These are just a few of the challenges that must be understood and constructively managed by
today’s chief executives in policing.

ABSTRACT
Police officers play the role of maintaining law and order. This entails ensuring the safety of the society without compromising the nobility of the department. The administrator needs to exercise honesty, integrity and fair treatment to all its citizens. This is termed as ethical behavior in their jobs.
Safety is among the functions of the department. The execution of this service should ensure the public is not put at any risk. The use of force may harm the public. For that reason, police ought to be diligent on how they apprehend criminals. The principles of proportionality, minimization and practicability are addressed within with an emphasis on public support and security.
The police recruitment process is in place to allow the trainers to assess the character of the recruits. To uphold the nobility of the department, honest and diligent recruits get posted to various regions of the country. The ill-behaved cops may be punished by losing their jobs or automatic suspensions.
The adherence to legal procedures and law sections should be the driving principle for the cops. This will eradicate the chances of conflicting demands. Conflicting claims exist when the cops have a personal interest and may conceal evidence.
The department should appreciate the community role in security. The community provides information on crime hot spots. This aids in narrowing down on investigation areas making their job efficient. This may also eradicate the norm of the public fearing the cops. Such fear chokes the flow of information hindering efficiency of the police force.
Officers need to exercise discrete decision making to ensure fair treatment of crimes. Separate decision-making allows law enforcers to make precise verdicts with no partiality.
In conclusion, this paper seeks to identify and illustrate police ethics in correlation to their roles in the society. Some of the factors prohibiting their effectiveness are discussed within.
Integrity in private life
A police office should practice to abide by the laws of the state. The principle purpose for this is to ensure transparency in case of any scrutiny. Also to this, the law administration should be an example demonstrating how the society should live. It would be difficult and uncouth if police officers were found in compromising situations. The officers need not abuse any powers handed to them by the state.

Abstract
Entry into law enforcement is considered one of the most prestigious things that one can do for their community. Law enforcement is also among the best careers that one can take up. It has been a matter of contention on whether the people who have college degrees should be given the priority when it comes to the police recruitment process. Today, law enforcement has changed and is asking for the individuals in the profession to have more education. The law enforcement of today require the education intangibles that a college student will have and there is the need for continuous learning. There are several things in law enforcement which require one to have an education. There are internal politics of the government that one will require an education to understand. There are several issues today in law enforcement which require someone to have the much-needed education. There are influences such as the economy, technology as well as community relations. A formal education is required to understand most of these things better and give services to the community. When a law enforcement officer is educated, they are able to open up new possibilities. With a college degree, one is able to understand the leadership theories that are there as well as new ideas in the world. The presence of a college degree also means that one is able to consider new ideas and process them as a result of the different experiences of people in class. Law enforcement officers need to have been exposed to various cultures and people and gotten into the culture of sharing information. Communication skills are also taught in colleges which can help an individual became a better officer.
Why Police Should Hire Candidates with Collegiate Degrees vice Just a High School/GED
Police recruitment has been an emphasis on law enforcement agencies for decades. This controversial topic has attracted different researchers to investigate the relationship between higher education and policing in combating crimes. The concepts of police modernization and professionalism are surrounded by the quality of police education and training concerning the effects it brings to organizational transformation and individual performance (Francis & McCafferty, 2003). Bearing in mind the security and safety of citizens is one of the key government goal pillars, education, and well-trained law enforcement officers are integral in revolutionizing the policing department. Expansive research has found that significant shifts in the nature of police work and policing practices have ...

Abstract
Over the years, people across different states have become increasingly concerned with the serious misconduct of police administrators. The paper provides a summary of the articles that are about the concerns. The articles are titled Ethics in Criminal Justice with an Emphasis in Policing and Corrections and Ethics and Police Management: The Impact of Leadership Style on Misconduct by Senior Police Leaders in the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia. The two articles share the concern aggrieved by many, the misconduct with senior police offices. Since the onset of police departments, the ethical level of their practices has often been questioned based on corruption persistence within the system. Notably, the criminal justice system has been questioned in the past on its credibility to deliver fair judgment without prejudice. The following analysis will explore on the distracting concern while focusing on possible solutions for its improvement in the future. A summary of the most imperative points made in each editorial will be provided.
Ethics In Criminal Justice And Police Management
Police officers are mandated with the role to not only protect the citizens, but also ensure effective management of public utilities. The existence of corruption within the police department is a vexing concern to the people as they have bestowed their trust in them. Often, front line officer are accused of their indulgence in dishonesty. However, the deepening nature of this menace is illustrated by the fact that senior police officers play a vital role in the cover up. Despite this, the blue wall provides protection against officers thus heightening their capacity to indulge in bribery activities. Corruption is deeply rooted in the system thus the deterrence measures should stem from upper-level management
Article 1-Background
Ethics in Criminal Justice with an Emphasis in Policing and Corrections suggest the saddening truth of how corruption has been embedded within police departments. According to Tancredi, 2013, law enforcement officers often hide behind the blue wall that provides them with coverage and cover-up emanating from the support provided by the police departments. Essentially, the indulgent of senior officers holding upscale offices deters further the ability to abscond the misconduct (Tancredi, 2013).
Strengths and Weaknesses of the Article
The article highlight the fact that corruption within the police department has taken a turn in the past decades and its existence inside the departments cannot be adequately dealt with. Tancredi, 2013 proclaims that the existence of the blue wall provides senior officers within the management sector an opportunity to cover-up for their mates. Despite ...

A BLUEPRINT FOR ENHANCING INVESTIGATIVE EXCELLENCE POLICING AS.docxransayo
A BLUEPRINT FOR ENHANCING INVESTIGATIVE EXCELLENCE POLICING AS A TRADECRAFT
Staff Sergeant Dan Jones
Policing today is referred to as a profession. The desire to move off the front line, out of a uniform,
seems to start earlier and earlier in today's police membership. At some point in the last 20 years the
current focus of police organizations moved from investigations to leadership. Not leading
investigatively, but leading people. There are PhD programs in policing leadership, management,
and other forms of getting personnel to believe in and work toward achieving organizational goals.
American businessman Harold Geneen once said, “Leadership cannot be taught. It can only be
learned.” In regard to the foundation of policing and the role of investigative excellence, I provide the
following submissions. Unlike leadership, investigations can and should be taught. A lack of focus on
investigative tradecraft has stunted our ability to learn superior investigative skills, and as a result we
are not serving the public in the best manner possible.
Let me clarify one thing, policing is not a profession, it is a tradecraft. Undergraduate or graduate
degrees do not make you a better investigator. There are no university programs that make a great
investigator. Policing may not be a profession, but in no way does that say or imply that police are
not expected to be professional. It simply means there is an on-the-job learning component, or
apprenticeship. During the police officer's career, it is during the time on patrol that a police officer is
taught the skills necessary to effectively fulfill his or her role. I cannot emphasize enough how this
very important component of police work is being overlooked. The rash of retirements, people
quitting to move on to other jobs prior to retirement, and the desire of members to get out of front-
line policing as soon as possible, results in a lack of skilled investigators. A three-year member as a
patrol training officer has not yet reached the “journeyman” stage in policing and therefore is at a
disadvantage when asked to teach the important skills of investigations. This lack of proper tutelage
in the initial stages of many young police officers' careers has a lasting ripple effect on the entire
service, and we are definitely seeing this in the quality of our investigations today.
The public demands that we be adequate at investigations; I assert we should strive for investigative
excellence. Police organizations, as well as the investigating police members, are liable for
inadequate police investigations as set out in Hill vs. Hamilton-Wentworth. It is time we arm our
police officers with the investigative skills and abilities needed to do the job they have been sworn to
do. The police officer's tool belt should not only contain a sidearm, CEW, and handcuffs, it needs a
working knowledge of the Canadian Criminal Code, interviewing techniques, warrant writing, photo .

CJE3065 Police and Society - Module 2 Selection and DevelopmenVinaOconner450
CJE3065 Police and Society - Module 2 Selection and Development
The quality of police personnel is a
highly important issue, because of the
increasing complexity of police work.
Departments should be screening in,
rather than screening out potential
candidates:
1.Screening in – identifies the best
applicants in an employee pool
2.Screening out – identifies applicants
who are unqualified and removes them
from the applicant pool, while still
leaving those who are minimally
qualified
"The policy of merely eliminating the
least qualified results in mediocrity
because it allows marginal applicants to
be employed along with the most
qualified" (pg 192)
Recruitment
A Police Executive Research Forum found that the most common methods of recruitment for agencies were as follows:
1. Newspaper ads
2. Career fairs
3. The Internet
Approximately 50% of agencies used one of their own programs for recruitment. The most commonly used police programs included:
1. College internships
2. Explorer programs
3. School resource officers
A DOJ project called Hiring in the Sprit of Service aims at recruiting service-oriented individuals.
5 agencies, representing both rural and urban departments, have tailored their hiring process to market for individuals who have communication, people, leadership and organizational skills, and not just traditional paramilitary skills.
The agencies also developed valid pre-employment testing procedures, job task analysis, and performance measures related to community policing and service-oriented practices.
Selection
After recruitment, the selection process determines which candidates are best suited to the needs of the department
Selection criteria are used to rate candidates, and a ranking system is generally created for candidates.
Departments attempt to use selection criteria that are both reliable and valid
Validity is the degree to which a measure actually assesses the attribute that it was designed to measure
Reliability is a measure's ability to yield consistent results over time
Invalid criteria may have an adverse impact on groups that are protected by equal employment opportunity laws and regulations
Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 prohibits any discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religion, national origin, or gender
Griggs v. Duke Power Company (1971) – concluded that a selection method can have a disparate impact when the selection rate of a group is less than 80% of the most successful group; also known as the four-fifths rule
Albemarle Paper Company v. Moody (1975) – found that selection and promotion tests or standards must be shown to be related to job performance
However, a standard can be required, even though it may have a disparate impact, if the standard can be shown to be a valid predictor of job performance. Such a standard is called bone fide occupational qualification
(BFOQ)
Departments utilize job task analysis to identify behaviors that are necessary for ade ...

The Untruthful Employee - Is Termination the Only Response?
By: Chief Ronal Serpas and Captain Michael Hagar, Metropolitan Nashville
Police Department, Nashville, TN
Over the last many years law enforcement leaders have come under increasing
pressure to answer the question: “What do I do with a law enforcement employee
who has been proven to be untruthful in the work place?” Many departments
have also been confronted with significant and far reaching court decisions that
play a prominent role in this decision making process, as well as vigorous
debates and lengthy court battles with labor organizations around the issue of
truthfulness expectations in policy and disciplinary actions. Beyond court
decisions and day to day management issues, in recent years the US
Department of Justice has issued far reaching instructions on the conduct of
federal law enforcement cases that may involve local and state police employees
who have a history of being untruthful in the work place. There have been
articles titled, “Disclosing Officer Untruthfulness to the Defense: Is a Liars Squad
Coming to Your Town?”1, “Chief's Counsel: Should Police Officers Who Lie Be
Terminated as a Matter of Public Policy?”2 and similar discussions in this
magazine and others. In light of these critical and evolving issues, a recent
decision from the Tennessee Court of Appeals analyzing the procedures and
practices of the Metropolitan Police of Nashville Davidson County, TN can be
instructive. Without disregarding the import and consequences of Brady v
Maryland3 and Giglio v. United States4, this article proposes that it should be the
public policy of law enforcement agencies that untruthful conduct by a law
enforcement agency employee has a most damaging effect to the day to day
efficient and effective service of policing. Moreover, the use of untruthful
statements to avoid disciplinary action further undermines the efficient and
effective service expected of American police departments. Truthfulness by
employees is not only an issue of witness credibility in a court of law; it is the
fundamental nature of law enforcement service and strikes to the core of our
ability to provide effective and efficient service. As a result, untruthful conduct,
when found, must be met with the most serious of disciplinary action –
termination.

federal law enforcement cases that may involve local and state police employees
who have a history of being untruthful in the work place. There have been
articles titled, “Disclosing Officer Untruthfulness to the Defense: Is a Liars Squad
Coming to Your Town?”1, “Chief's Counsel: Should Police Officers Who Lie Be
Terminated as a Matter of Public Policy?”2 and similar discussions in this
magazine and others. In light of these critical and evolving issues, a recent
decision from the Tennessee Court of Appeals analyzing the procedures and
practices of the Metropolitan Police of Nashville Davidson County, TN can be
instructive. Without disregarding the import and consequences of Brady v
Maryland3 and Giglio v. United States4, this article proposes that it should be the
public policy of law enforcement agencies that untruthful conduct by a law
enforcement agency employee has a most damaging effect to the day to day
efficient and effective service of policing. Moreover, the use of untruthful
statements to avoid disciplinary action further undermines the efficient and
effective service expected of American police departments. Truthfulness by
employees is not only an issue of witness credibility in a court of law; it is the
fundamental nature of law enforcement service and strikes to the core of our
ability to provide effective and efficient service. As a result, untruthful conduct,
when found, must be met with the most serious of disciplinary action –
termination.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

2. Abstract
The Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) is the topic of this paper, which addresses challenges in
improving the RMP as well as its problems from the perspective of strategic management in the
public sector, focusing on three major themes: strategy, implementation, and politics.
Introduction
Strategy
When Malaysia was formed in 1963, the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) was given its current
name. It is a federal agency, and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) is in charge of it. The
force's primary responsibilities include law enforcement, order maintenance, and services. The
public has expressed unhappiness with the RMP's performance over the years. In response, the
government, led by former Prime Minister (PM) Abdullah Badawi, announced the formation of a
Royal Commission to investigate and review the RMP's administration and management. The
Royal Commission issued a report in 2005, entitled Report of the Royal Commission to enhance
the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysia Police (RCR), a report that detailed the
force's shortcomings and made 125 recommendations to the government to reform it. As a result,
the discussion in this article will be heavily influenced by the report, and the analysis will be led
by the framework proposed by Kelman (1987) and Moore (1995), which is focused on three
major themes: strategy, implementation, and politics. An organisational strategy must be formed
in which the public agency must meet three criteria: it must specify a goal, it must capture and
maintain the support of overseers, and it must be feasible. All of these requirements must be met,
or the plan will fail. Indeed, according to Moore, public officials must first set a mission to which
their organisations will be guided. As previously stated, the RMP's fundamental flaw is its lack
of "operational management." Significantly, this has resulted in more serious effects, such as
corruption, power abuse, deaths in police custody, and a high rate of crime. Perhaps more
crucially, the public's confidence has been eroded as a result of this situation.
3. Implementation : What Went Wrong
Human Resource Management
Among the difficulties raised by the RCR in relation to HRM defects in the RMP are deficiencies
in recruiting, which have limited their ability to hire the right people with the proper skills, and
the lack of a competency-based model for HRD, both of which have contributed to the following
problems: The goals, aims, and directions of PDRM are not being completely supported, which
is detrimental to the police's image as well as the community's interests. Because of poor
performance and a lack of knowledge and abilities in specific areas, such as commercial crime,
crimes are more difficult to solve and cases are less successfully cleared. Finding, attracting, and
hiring the appropriate individuals for the right position is more difficult. Many cases appear to
have been dismissed due to a lack of abilities among police prosecuting officers in this regard.
There are other cases that go unsolved or unprosecuted due to a lack of investigative abilities on
the part of the police. The RC further stated that because the individuals in charge were not
adequately trained, there was a delay in taking immediate action in the non-classification
incidents. The RCR also stated that RMP's training system is "unable to generate sufficient
individuals with the required work ethics, competency, and competences, such as communication
and language proficiency". Not unexpectedly, this has resulted in public complaints about poor
quality counter services. There is a fault in the RMP workforce planning as well. RMP's
manpower management has been deemed ineffective, according to the RCR. Without a doubt,
the consequences of this problem are predictable, namely, inability to fill vacancies, flaws in the
distribution and deployment of RMP personnel, issues in managing employee remuneration and
anticipating changes for RMP, challenges in ensuring the provision of sufficient and appropriate
training and development, and challenges in planning for other support facilities that are
required, such as Indeed, this explains why, in some cases, the police did not take any action
after the complainants had filed their reports. The RMP remarked on how tough it was for them
to manage so many responsibilities and duties.
4. Job Design
The RMP has unmistakably specified its rules and procedures to guide the behaviour of its
personnel, such as the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC), Inspector General Standing Order
(IGSO), Lockup Rules 1953, Police Act 1963, and so on. Nonetheless, even if everything was in
place, would it help the organisation function? Officers, on the other hand, worked with little
oversight in actuality. They were encouraged to flout the rules in order to get the task done
because of the informal culture. When they were apprehended, their bosses alternated between
protecting them and making them scapegoats. Such circumstances caused a huge amount of
tension and cynicism within the organisation. The findings on the cases of deaths in police
custody in the case of RMP indicated this numerous times. The duties imposed on magistrates
and police officers under the CPC are not always followed. The pathologist's findings on the
cause of death were solely relied upon, and the investigation was halted. The police should not
halt their inquiry only because of the pathologist's explanation. The investigations were not
comprehensive. Witnesses, including as cellmates, duty lockup officers, arresting officers, and
officers who took part in the suspect's examination, were usually not requested to give
statements. But, more importantly, the cops had abused the power that had been given to them.
The abuse of rights safeguards in prescribed laws and regulations, especially laws and
regulations pertaining to women and children found in the CPC, IGSO, and Lockup Rules, was a
case in point. The most remarkable aspect of the data is that there is widespread and persistent
misuse of various kinds.
5. Implementation: Where do we go on from here
The following are the unique administrative innovations that require a closer examination in
order for the RMP to improve.
Human Resource Management(HRM): Develop Capacity
In terms of HRM, the RC's proposals to improve the management and development of RMP
human resources are, to some extent, extremely thorough. Initially, the RMP should place a
greater emphasis on its employee selection process. Many HRM professionals feel that selection
decisions are the most crucial aspect of effective HRM. This is especially important because the
police force is tasked with the responsibility of upholding the rule of law and maintaining public
order. The RMP should also take a holistic approach to its training and development initiatives,
especially when it comes to work ethics. To paraphrase Kelman (1987: 152) on this issue,
training is not just about the nuts and bolts of the work, but also about attitudes and orientations
toward what makes a successful police officer. To a large extent, enticement can play a key
influence in eliciting good performance from members of an organisation. Indeed, many people
saw the recent pay raise for civil officials, including police officers, as "appropriate and
significant" (The Star, 22 May, 2007) for the police force to improve their performance. Aside
from that, the RMP should pay close attention to the working environment and the well-being of
the employees. The RMP should definitely rectify the situation, as indicated by the RC, because
it has a detrimental influence on their morale, self-esteem, and performance.
6. External Accountability : Ensure Compliance
Given the nature of police activity, which appears to be infused with super-enormous power' to
assure the preservation of people's rights, including the security of life and property, there is a
need for much of their work to be governed by suitable rules, regulations, and procedures. As
previously stated, the SOP is significant in that it limits the discretion available to police officers.
The situation in the RMP appears to indicate that non-compliance with the SOP continues at all
levels. More crucially, due to a poorly enforced supervisory system, there is insufficient
oversight of lower officers and workers. Indeed, the RC has proposed one of the most important
key recommendations to ensure that doctrines, laws, rules, and procedures are observed and
implemented, namely, the establishment of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct
Commission (IPCMC) as an external oversight body to ensure that doctrines, laws, rules, and
procedures are followed and implemented. In a political climate marked by a loss of faith in the
political process, a loss of respect for public servants, and an increase in public expectations, the
existence of a national, external, and independent body charged with investigating allegations of
police misconduct must be seen as critical for holding the police accountable and dealing with
police misconduct. Regardless of the reasons that appear to be holding up the formation of the
IPCMC, the author believes that its establishment will undoubtedly restore RMP's image, which
has been tarnished by several claims. More importantly, it will ensure that RMP follows and
effectively executes laws and regulations.
7. Organizational (bureaucratic) Values : Managing Culture
Even though the RMP has stated its own values, this is not reflected in the majority of their acts.
In fact, the RC identified three more essential values for the RMP to consider: integrity, public
accountability, and human rights protection. However, having defined value statements is simply
one aspect of cultivating a positive culture in an organisation. The task is to instil the values in
police officers' behaviour. As previously said, putting a greater focus on training in these values
may be beneficial, but it is still disputed whether it will have any effect on police behaviour.
Again, the IPCMC's role as an external body will play a significant role in eradicating the RMP's
culture of impunity, which has pervaded all levels of the organisation. One of the most important
aspects of reforming the force will be changing the entire police culture.
8. Conclusion
Without a doubt, in the case of the RMP, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) will have to play
a substantial role in mobilising government support in order to improve the current situation of
the RMP. Except for this crucial issue, the IPCMC, the author does not see any difficulties for
the IGP in gaining cooperation from the government to strengthen its operational management.
The previous Prime Minister, in particular, recognises the necessity for the RMP to reclaim its
credibility. The establishment of the RC establishes a serious tone on the part of the government.
In the case of the IPCMC, many people had serious reservations that the IGP had done enough to
hasten its formation. Several quarters have expressed doubts about the IGP's honesty on this
subject. Nonetheless, given the IGP's political limits when it comes to accountability and
openness, this is understandable.
