The new Anse aux Pins police station has been described as more work conducive and community-friendly.
Equipped with modern amenities, the new station which was inaugurated yesterday will serve the communities of Anse aux Pins, Cascade, Pointe Larue and Au Cap.
It was the Commissioner of Police Reginald Elizabeth and Designated Minister Macsuzy Mondon, who also holds the ministerial portfolio for Home Affairs, who had the honour of unveiling the commemorative plaque to officially open the station.
They were later guided on a tour of the building to inspect the facilities.
Gracing the event with her presence was Mitcy Larue, Minister for Youth, Sports and Culture who was formerly responsible for the home affairs ministry under which the police falls.
The new Anse aux Pins police station is managed by Inspector Vincent Marie as the station commander, who has been in that position for two and a half years now.
Also present were the members of the National Assembly for Anse aux Pins, Pointe Larue and Au Cap -- Clifford Andre, Jude Valmont and Steven Pillay respectively -- and other high officials of the Seychelles Police Force.
Father Lonnie Adrienne of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Seychelles and Father Danny Elizabeth of the Anglican Church of Seychelles were there to bless the building.
A flag raising ceremony also formed part of the event.
“Police officers at this station are now being provided with the means to operate in a more suitable and conducive environment which will no doubt enhance a more professional performance and service delivery for the communities it serves,” said Compol Elizabeth in his opening speech, while urging the officers stationed there to give their very best.
In doing so, he said, they will earn the respect of the public.
