The new post will serve as a checkpoint to regulate access, ensure proper screening of visitors, and enhance overall security. “As the gateway to the capital, we must maintain control and vigilance,” he explained.

Our collaboration with sister security forces is strong, and we are fully on top of the situation in Waterloo,” he assured.
He concluded by reaffirming the division’s commitment to maintaining peace and security. “The people of Waterloo are highly protected. We are ready at any time to respond to any situation.
