SENSATIONAL Zambian female boxer Catherine Phiri is Zambia Police Ambassador for Turn-back Crime campaign.
Turn-back Crime campaign which was officially launched on 5th June, 2014 is an initiative by the International Police Organisation (INTERPOL) to raise awareness against cross border crime, hi-tech and economic crime within the SADC region.
The 21-year-old boxer who was unveiled as an Ambassador for Turn-Back Crime during the campaign Launch which was held at Police Service Headquarters in Lusaka yesterday was clad in a Zambia Police uniform.
In her speech, Phiri stated that crimes such as counterfeit, corruption and crimes against women and children affected the society negatively and that no matter how small a crime can be, at a global scale, they are usually interrelated.
“For me, it is a rare privilege to be a part of the global campaign as an ambassador for the Zambia Police and when I am in the ring I will always fight in good faith with honour and respect for the Law,” Phiri said.
Speaking at the same function, Inspector General of Police, Ms Stella Libongani said Zambia has not been spared from organised crime hence the need to enhance existing relations with members of the public and create new partnerships where they are missing in order to strengthen the fight against crime.
