The new spokesperson of the GPF who holds a Master of Science in Public Health Management and a Master of Arts in English replaces Binta Njie, the country’s first ever female PRO of the Police Force.
In an interview with The Point, PRO Sisawo said he would continue to play a crucial role within the police force and also serve as a bridge between the police and the public.
“I am immensely honoured and thankful for the confidence bestowed in me by the Inspector General Mr. Seedy Mukhtar Touray and his leadership. I want to assure them that I will make a commitment in not only protecting the image of the police, but also to ensure that there is a cordial working relationship between the police and the media and the general public.”
“A key focus of my role will be to foster stronger and more productive working relationships with the media, enhancing transparency, and ensuring accurate and timely communication between the police force and the public.”
This approach, he went on, will be fundamental in building trust and cooperation with the community they serve.
Prior to his promotion, Modou Musa Sisawo held the position of 1st Class Constable and had dedicated over a year of commendable service in the Public Relations Office.
