Mr. Mpundu says the province shares vast boundaries with other countries which could pose a threat to internal security.
Mr. Mpundu has revealed that the bigger part of the boundary is on water which makes it difficult for policing due to inadequate water vessels for operations.
The permanent secretary noted with concern that the province is invaded by foreign witch finders who usually terrorise residents in the name of which finding during the harvest period.
Mr. Mpundu said this when Deputy Inspector General Police In charge of Administration Alita Mbahwe paid a courtesy call on him at his office.
The permanent secretary has further called on the Zambia police service to establish police presence in newly created districts such as Lunte, Senga and Lupososhi.
And the Deputy Inspector General Alita Mbahwe says there is need to sensitize traditional leaders on the witchcraft act.
Ms. Mbahwe also disclosed that housebreaking has remained the most predominant crime in the province.
She has explained that her mission to the province is to interact with officers and discuss various issues of concerns and interests that will help promote a value centered police service.
She says it is important for men and women in uniform to remind each other on the issues of integrity, Legal issues, thrift society services among others to reduce some of the stress that officers encounter.
Ms Mbahwe noted that with time most officers forgot about the core values that affect the operations of the Zambia police service.
The Deputy Inspector General has since urged the police officers to seriously step out in the execution of duty.
