Auxiliary cops eligible for RM150,000 insurance cover

Kota Kinabalu: Auxiliary police are now eligible for a life insurance protection scheme for a total coverage of RM150,000. State Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department Chief SAC Awang Besar Dullah said the insurance coverage would raise self-confidence among auxiliary police especially when carrying out police duties.

He also encouraged auxiliary police personnel to take advantage of the opportunity which is not enjoyed by the police and army.

"This is very interesting in my opinion because no insurance would provide commitment to police or soldiers due to the high risk.

"I understand that among benefits covered by this insurance is 24-hour protection in case of shooting, in addition to death and permanent disability due to road accidents caused by civilian car, personal car and department vehicle, with compensation of up to RM150,000.
