The Spokesperson of the Gambia Police Force Cadet Assistance Superintendent Modou Musa Sisawo reported during the weekend, that the Tourism Security Unit (TSU) of The Gambia Police Force arrested and detained a police officer from the Police Intervention Unit (PIU) in Kanifing over alleged gross misconduct at the Tourism Development Area (TDA) in Senegambia, on Thursday, November 28, 2024.
“This action follows a serious allegation reported to the TSU Charge Office, accusing the officer of manhandling a male and female at the beach under the pretext of enforcing “decency” in a public place. Such behavior if confirmed is a flagrant violation of the code of conduct expected of our officers,” Cadet Assistant Superintendent Modou Musa Sisawo stated, adding that the Gambia Police Force (GPF), categorically condemns any form of abuse of power or misconduct by its officers.
“A thorough and impartial investigation is already underway, and the GPF assures the public that justice will be served. If found guilty the officer will face the full force of the law, with strict disciplinary measures. The GPF reaffirms its unreserved commitment to professionalism, accountability, and the protection of public trust. We remain resolute in ensuring that all our officers adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards in the execution of their duties. Misconduct has no place within the ranks of The Gambia Police Force,” he noted.
