President Dr Mohamed Muizzu stated last night that while the Police have worked extensively to uphold peace and security, current laws still pose challenges to their efforts. 

Speaking at the 93rd annual meeting of Maldives Police Service, the President recognized that police officers have done exemplary work in saving the country from deep rooted ills and ensuring the safety and security of communities. He expressed joy in celebrating police's success in working closely with the people. 

He remarked that the police have carried out immeasurable work, each effort leaving a meaningful and lasting impact. 

The President assured that the government would continue to extend full cooperation to police efforts, and that it would strive to facilitate necessary training and educational opportunities for officers. 

"I also highlight within this amendments that need to be brought to the Police Act. As the law is now, it presents obstacles to serving the people in the manner I have said. That is the reality," the President said. 

"So once the police service discusses these amendments and conducts the necessary research, the government will cooperate to bring about the changes," President Muizzu said. 

The President also assured that the government would work towards implementing any other changes necessary as well to further enhance police services.
