The PSC Chairman called for prompt treatment of cases of misconduct by the officers to ensure those found wanting, were brought to book. According to him, it is this set of officers that have continued to damage the image of the Force and should quickly be fished out of the Force. He urged the Inspector general to make sanity among personnel, training and building of strong intelligence priority program of his administration.
