New Tawau Police Chief to continue legacy of excellence

TAWAU: New Tawau District Police Chief ACP Rosdi Mat Jusoh has pledged to continue the legacy of excellence established by his predecessor, in line with the aspirations of the Royal Malaysia Police top leadership.

Rosdi, who previously served as Sabah Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief, said the position entrusted to him was a great responsibility that must be carried out with sincerity and a strong sense of duty.

“I arrived at the Tawau District Police Headquarters (IPD) with great respect for the journey undertaken by the previous leadership. Efforts to strengthen IPD Tawau will continue in appreciation of the strong foundation built by the late former District Police Chief ACP Jasmin Hussin,” he said in a statement, Tuesday.

On Monday, Rosdi officially took over duties from Acting Supt Wilynton Enchana Watt.
