He noted that the earnings were insufficient to guarantee financial stability and independence.
Despite his concerns about remuneration, he suggested that the Service has the potential to generate additional revenue to improve staff welfare.
According to him, the Police administration could introduce measures to supplement government funding and enhance salaries.
He proposed the implementation of a structured instant fine system for road traffic offenders, arguing that such a policy could serve as a significant source of revenue for both the Service and the state.
Drawing on his experiences abroad, he stated that many developed countries rely on fines and penalties as part of broader strategies to raise funds for development projects.
His comments have since generated mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting his views on alternative revenue generation, while others have questioned the practicality and implications of such measures.

Speaking from personal experience, he urged the youth to follow the right procedures when seeking entry into foreign countries, particularly the United States, to avoid the harsh realities associated with illegal migration.
According to him, life as an undocumented immigrant can be extremely difficult, with limited access to stable jobs, healthcare, and other essential services.
He noted that these struggles can take a serious toll on one’s mental health, sometimes pushing individuals into depression.
He further explained that obtaining legal documentation after entering the country illegally can take up to a decade, describing it as a costly mistake that could significantly delay personal progress.
“Ten years without papers can set you back in life,” he said, adding that such a period could feel like making only a year’s worth of progress due to constant limitations and uncertainty.
He therefore advised young people to be patient and use the appropriate channels when planning to travel abroad, stressing that doing things the right way is the safest path to long-term success.
