I agree. Better equipment, reliable intelligence, and proper backup arrangements should be priorities for officers sent into high-risk areas.

More officers alone may not solve this; deployments need reliable intelligence and support before gun battles begin.

Authorities should review what happened in Makuku, strengthen early warning systems, and ensure deployed teams have adequate backup.
