The Lusaka City Council (LCC) has added 100 fresh council police officers to its ranks to strengthen enforcement of by-laws and restore order in public spaces across the capital.

According to LCC Public Relations Manager, Chola Mwamba, the recruitment comes at a time when Lusaka’s population and business activities continue to grow, creating greater demand for effective law enforcement and public safety.

“The Lusaka City Council has recruited one hundred council police officers to enhance public order, enforce by-laws and promote safety in all public spaces. This recruitment will significantly strengthen the Council’s capacity to serve Lusaka’s ever-growing business environment and population,” Mwamba said.

She added that the officers will complement the existing workforce, increase visibility in communities, and undergo mandatory training before deployment to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to perform their duties effectively.

Mwamba assured residents that the new officers will serve diligently, guided by professionalism, integrity, and respect for human rights. She also expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development and other stakeholders who supported the recruitment process.
