A newly constructed building for the Kopay Police Station was declared open on June 14 under the patronage of Minister of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs Ananda Wijepala.
Built at a cost of nearly Rs. 47 million within one year, the facility has been equipped with modern infrastructure aimed at improving police services and public access to law enforcement.
Focus on Public Service
Addressing the gathering, Ananda Wijepala said providing an efficient, reliable and quality service to the public remains a primary responsibility of the police.
He also said ensuring the security of all citizens, regardless of ethnicity or religion, remains a key responsibility of the government.
The Minister noted that improved facilities would support efforts to deliver better policing services to the public.
Drug Eradication Efforts to Continue
During his address, Wijepala said the government and security forces will continue implementing joint programmes to combat the drug menace.
He described drug-related activities as a threat to the country’s future and called on the public to support ongoing efforts to eliminate narcotics-related crimes.
