Cheras, 24 June 2026 (The Capital Post) – The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), IG Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Hj. Mohd Khalid Hj. Ismail, has emphasised that the views, experience and ideas of retired Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) officers remain an important asset in strengthening the future direction of the force, particularly in addressing increasingly complex and dynamic security challenges.
According to a post on the official Facebook page of Polis Diraja Malaysia ( Royal Malaysia Police ), he said this while officiating the 42nd Annual General Meeting of the Retired Senior Police Officers Association of Malaysia (RESPA), held at Dewan Sultan Hj. Ahmad Shah, Royal Malaysia Police College Kuala Lumpur, earlier today.
His arrival at around 9.10am was received by RESPA President Dato’ Meor Chek Hussien Mahayuddin, together with Kuala Lumpur PDRM College Commandant, DCP Dr. Che Ghazali Che Awang.
The IGP said RESPA serves as a significant platform that brings together former senior police officers with extensive experience in various aspects of security and law enforcement throughout their service.
He added that in facing modern security threats, including cybercrime and increasingly complex transnational crime, synergy between the expertise of retired officers and serving personnel is essential to ensure that PDRM remains relevant, credible and trusted by the public.
