police-officers

"Altars covered with streams of dried human blood, the stench of which was awful...huge pits forty to fifty feet deep were found filled with human bodies dead and dying, and a few wretched captives were rescued alive...everywhere sacrificial trees on which were the corpses of the latest victims...everywhere, on each path, were newly sacrificed corpses. On the principal sacrificial tree facing the main gate of the king’s compound there were two crucified bodies and forty-three more in various stages of decomposition. On another tree a wretched woman was found crucified, while at its foot were four more decapitated bodies. To the westward of the king’s house was a large open space, about three hundred yards in length, simply covered with the remains of some hundreds of human sacrifices in all stages of decomposition. The same sights were met with all over the city."

"If an enemy comes to you, attack the enemy"

"If I have opportunity to sit where you’re sitting and I can cross question Adv Johnson, I will prove to you it’s a lie, if that’s what she told you. The arrest of Khumalo is a project to stop criminal investigations in Gauteng. The letter from the minister to disband PKTT is a project to stop criminal investigation in Gauteng"

"You do not want your child to be in a conflict with the law because police will be out in full force and would make sure that we do not negotiate with law breakers. So including your children that are going to be celebrating, we will have no mercy on them if they break the law."

"They are going to chase you, they are going to arrest you. Get out of that prison and fight. They are going to suspend you, they’re going to dismiss you. They’re going to get you out of the police. When you are out of the police, then join the men and women in the private sector who are dedicated to dealing with this criminality"

"I want to demonstrate that the criminal justice system has been subject to a continuous threat, as well as sabotage, which has been with us over an extended period to a point where we believe it is at risk of a total collapse if nothing is done"

"This is not just about phone calls. It’s about money. It’s criminal"

"We understand that they are going to attend these parties but these parties must not be used to end their lives"

"Well, it depends on what you want to do in life. Whatever you attach importance to, you always find a way around it."

"If I have a second chance at life, I’d still join the police."

"I am a police officer. I am AIG Aishatu Abubakar Baju, but I am also a doctor. I joined the Force as a doctor. I am very proud to be a police officer. I am also the President of the Veterinary Council of Nigeria. So, call me all the titles; I like them."

"Nigeria is not far from its first female Inspector General of Police (IGP)."

"had to work at integrating all these facets of my life – being a wife, mother and also a police officer. You know, sometimes, as we grow older, a few of these responsibilities can be delegated. We just have to juggle them all; that is why I am a woman."

"Finally, there is a communication blockage, colleagues avoid, do not want to meet, so that the public impression, the reporter's impression of us becomes increasingly negative. So in slang, don't ghost."

"Called, rejected. Called, picked up, we get angry. The reporter's impression of us becomes increasingly negative. So in slang terms, don't ghost."

"This is what colleagues must do. Because of the four strategies, the one that correlates to increasing public trust is procedural justice."

"I asked her where the posters in his room came from. She told me she had found some magazines in the forest at a spot where some soldiers had camped and had brought them home. This was shortly before the sexual murders started. I believe those pin-ups were the catalyst that triggered the fantasy that had been brewing inside Zikode since his childhood. His mother had unwittingly lit the tinder which had erupted into a blaze and cost many women their lives."

"As a professional psychologist, I therefore, through my YouTube Channel, offer authentic knowledge about forensic psychology. I want this platform to be inspirational and educational for everyone, free of cost and accessible."

"The motive is settled deep within the unconscious psyche, and the serial killer is unaware of this. By ‘irresistible compulsion’ I do not mean that serial killers have absolutely no power over the urge to kill. Many of them experience the urge as an external force taking control of their own will and forcing them to commit murder, a force they perceive they cannot resist."

"One of the drawbacks we face today with the internet is the existence of clickbait or synthetic sensational information."

"It came after the weeks of intense classes that I conducted in order to teach detectives. There was also an advanced course. At the end of it, I told them “Well, what are you waiting for? Go catch me a killer!” This is how it became the title of the book."

"I never told my family about the full nature of my work. Years later, my father read my book and he was shocked, saying that this was dangerous. I had to reassure him that it was all in the past, and I was now safe. I resigned from the police with the rank equivalent to senior superintendent in 2000."

"I am living from a place of healing."

"Serial killers are not monsters; they are human beings with tortured souls. I will never condone what they do, but I can understand them."

"They are not Artificial Intelligence (AI)--generated monsters or Marvel comic book superheroes as often depicted in fictional series. The majority are not mentally ill. They are human beings, they could be your neighbour. Many people would presume that serial killers would be super intelligent, but they are not. They are normal people with average intelligence; few are intelligent and most are not."

"Since television series or films are often a dramatization of the events that happen in our lives, this has prompted me to launch my own YouTube Channel where I authentically speak about my experiences."

"I am somewhere in Mauritius, for example, at the Odysseo oceanarium where one can see the sharks swimming with other fish. Now to us, it’s a dangerous shark but to the other fish, it’s just another fish. It is dangerous, but not a monster, just a fish. This is an analogy of how serial killers are, they move among us; just another person going about their daily lives."

"I was a tool to help them perform their job of catching criminals and when they saw that my contribution was valuable, they taught me about investigation for I knew nothing about it. In return, I taught them about profiling, and this is how this whole idea came about to train and teach them. I founded the Investigative Psychology Unit of the South African Police Service and worked actively with the detectives I trained."

"Good men and good women can stand together to fight injustice."

"Every human being passes through five psychosexual developmental phases. They are the oral phase, anal phase, Oedipus or phallic phase, latency phase and the genital phase. A person can fixate in any of these phases and failure to resolve the fixation would be cause for pathology. A layman’s term for a fixation would be a mental short-circuit. It is an individualistic reaction to being exposed to too much or too little of something."

"Having trained the detectives, I told them that if we think of serial killers as enemies, it will be difficult but if we understand them, we will be a step ahead and able to arrest them. But, it isn’t about just arresting them, it is about gathering evidence to get them convicted."

"Serial killers exist there, and if one really wants to find them, that is where one has to look. One cannot begin to understand a serial killer's mind if one is unprepared and if one does not know what they feel. One does not have to be raped to acquire empathy for a rape victim. I did not have to kill to understand why others do, but I had to go through some harrowing experiences in order to understand."

"I had never thought when I did my work that someone would make a TV series about it."

"I was recommended and appointed, as I was writing my doctorate thesis about serial killers."

"South Africa has the third highest murder rate in the world, with Colombia and Swaziland ahead of it. The high rate of murder illustrates the amount of work that a Murder and Robbery detective has to cope with, and yet South Africa holds the record for apprehending serial killers within three to six months of a special investigation team being established, provided the serial killer stays active."

"People become more involved in the fraudulent activities because government has not enough mechanisms to check those leaking out vital documents and information to people."

"I believe corrupt practices would involve acts such as bribery, doing favours for others while not following a transparent process and favouritism in regards to family and friends. Giving an example of corruption, when it comes to employing a family member rather than employing someone per their qualifications."

"Corruption exists in Seychelles, it is real and it is not a perception."

"At the complaints unit they will review whether the complaint has a corruption element to it, if it’s not a corruption-related matter then the complainant is informed or the case is referred to another authority. If the complaint is genuine and includes corruption then it is referred to the investigation unit which will then carry out further investigation and gather more evidence. Then recommendations can be made to the Attorney General (AG) to inform him of the person to be dealt with and taken to court."

"After the complaints are logged, the complaints department sifts through each case and once enough information is collected it is then moved to the investigation unit for further information gathering."

"There is a broad range of corrupt practices which can be found in the Anti-Corruption Act 2016 and the cases the ACCS receives are assessed using criteria set up under the Act."

"Those units cover our mandate which is to investigate, detect and prevent corruption. To date we have received 58 complaints."

"It is heart-warming to hear that a policewoman acted as the IGP while others are now commissioners and deputy commissioners, as during our time the highest rank for women was Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP)."

"Requesting that policewomen should be allowed to marry, get pregnant and have children as and when they wanted was a very important one for all those who came after them."

"We share in your loss and would support the family to ensure the late Madam Nkansah is given a befitting burial."

"There is a distinct danger of another Muslim country, speaking predominantly Bengali, emerging in the eastern part of India in the future, at a time when India might find itself weakened politically and militarily."

"Let us look at the map of Eastern India—starting from the North 24 Parganas district, proceeding through Nadia, Murshidabad, Malda and West Dinajpur before entering the narrow neck of land lying through Raiganj and Dalkola of Islampur sub-division before passing through the Kishanganj district of East Bihar to enter Siliguri. Proceed further and take a look at the north Bengal districts of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar before entering Assam, and its districts of Dhubri, Goalpara, Bonaigaon, Kokrajhar and Barpeta. A more sensitive region in Asia is difficult to locate…."

"Figures have been given showing the concentration of Muslim population in the districts of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh, starting from 24 Parganas and going up to Islampur of West Dinajpur district, and their population being well over 50 per cent of the population."

"A study of the border belt of West Bengal yields some telling statistics: 20-40 per cent villages in the border districts are said to be predominantly Muslim. There are indications that the concentration of the minority community, including the Bangladesh immigrants, in the villages has resulted in the majority community moving to urban centres. Several towns in the border districts are now predominantly inhabited by the majority community but surrounded by villages mostly dominated by the minority community. Lin Piao’s theory of occupying the villages before overwhelming the cities comes to mind, though the context is different. However, the basic factor of security threat in both the cases is the same."

"The Kishanganj district (of Bihar), which was part of Purnea district earlier, which is contiguous to the West Bengal area, also has a majority of Muslim population."
