He said that due to the security challenges associated with the Yuletide , security was everyones’ responsibility if the country was to be peaceful.
“We are in the ember months and associated with the ember months are security challenges. I will like to remind you that security is everyone’s concern.
“If you see something, say something; if anything looks unusual, it is your responsibility to report to the appropriate superior authority,” he said.
The ember months are : September, October, November and December respectively.
he AVM also commenting on the 10km -route march commended the officers for successfully completing the exercise, saying that the march was to keep them fit and be combat ready.
“As a combat fighting force, we need to be fit at all times because the constitution has given us roles that we must perform and we can’t do that in a sick body.
“The 10km walk we did is to keep us fit, so, that we will be able to perform our assigned role. It was a good and impressive turnout.
“We didn’t record any casualties, so; by my assessment, it was excellent,” he said.
No fewer than 1,500 officers participated in the quarterly route march.
