Monrovia- June 28, 2022: Criminal Justice and Forensic Science Student Association (CJ – FOSSA) of the African Methodist Episcopal University (AMEU) has showered pleasant words of commendation on fallen Liberia National Police (LNP) officer, Alfred Boley who died recently.

The students gathered early Friday morning, June 24, 2022, at the square in Via Town, on the Bushrod Island, one of the prominent spots from which officer Boley ran his daily routine in directing traffic.

The president of the CJ – FOSSA at the AMEU, Kamathy Bahn said the gathering of the students was in recognition of the dedicated services offered to the state through the LNP traffic division by late officer Alfred Boley.

Student Bahn said officer Boley’s commitment to duty during his earthly journey when he directed traffic, particularly on Bushrod Island was characterized by integrity and diligence.

“ We observed this officer has been a dedicated public officer who through rain and sun would remain faithful to his duty,” Kamathy said. “ He was diligent and did not ask for bribes or tips while performing his official duty,” he stressed.

Mr. Kamathy referred to late officer Boley as someone who had integrity despite the prevailing challenges that confront the LNP in the discharge of its professional duty.

He used the moment to call on other law enforcement officers in the country to emulate the distinguished professional life officer Boley lived and exhibited while carry out his duty.

At the same time, the CJ – FOSSA’s president has called on the national government to increase support for the LNP.

Mr. Bahn said the Government must increase the national budget of the LNP so as meet its logistical needs in the fight against crime and to improve the livelihood of LNP officers.

Moreover, the CJ – FOSSA called on the LNP hierarchy to spot hard-working officers who are dedicated and professional in the exercise of their duty and publically recognize them and if need be, promote them.

Mr. Bahn said the move will serve as an impetus to gather professional competition amongst law enforcement officers thereby, encouraging other citizens to join the force while creating great admiration for the security sector of the country.

The LNP Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Alfred Boley met his untimely death during the early morning hours of Monday, June 20, 2022, while undergoing treatment at the Mawah Clinic in Vai Town, Bushrod Island, the LNP announced.

The LNP acknowledged that CIP Boley served the public through the Traffic Section with huge diligence, commitment to duty, unmatched professionalism, and people-centered policing.

A statement from the LNP read: “He will be missed by thousands of Liberians for his professional stance in dealing with operators in the traffic which has won his public attention, accolades to include, including The National Integrity Award, and other countless honors from Civil Society organizations, Churches, Mosques amongst others.”

In the same vein, the Inspector General (ID) of the LNP, Patrick Sudue said that the public’s admiration of Officer Boley clearly signifies that every officer of the Police is under the radar of members of the public for scrutiny.

Currently, the LNP administration has already begun working with the family of the late Officer Boley to give him a befitting burial.
