BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Network): All aspects of leadership, management, administration, training and logistical capability of the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) must be improved to ‘cure’ crimes committed by the police, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said.

The Sultan in a decree at the RBPF Officers’ Mess during a working visit to the RBPF on Tuesday (Dec 6), said many crimes are committed by the police such as bribery, gambling and breach of trust or conspiring with criminal gangs. Among them are informing of roadblock operations and raids making it difficult for enforcement officers to collect evidence, he said.
