During the meeting with the NPA’s management, AIG Yusuf emphasized the importance of collaboration and synergy between the Maritime Police Command and the NPA to address crime challenges in the port environment.

The AIG also stressed the need for constant communication between the Maritime Police Command and NPA management to address any criminal elements disrupting port operations promptly.
