The police boss, who commended CRAN members for the security feedbacks he always received, called for a stronger synergy between the association and the command.
He said: "You are helping me by partnering with me, because you are on the ground. I have received quality information, criminal valuable information from some of my friends, even till this morning.
"I will naturally act, it is a practical example here. So, it is in my interest that we partner, I will gain from it."
On gender based violence, the commissioner said he has up scaled the capacity of the unit since he assumed office.
