Harare, (New Ziana) – The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has dismissed reports linking it to a purported Annual Crime Prevention Summit 2025 scheduled for 10 September 2025 in Harare.
In a statement on Friday, national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the ZRP is neither involved in the organisation of the event nor participating in it. “The Zimbabwe Republic Police dismisses any association with Ataraxia’s purported Annual Crime Prevention Summit 2025. The ZRP is not part of the organisers or participants. Therefore, any individual or company approached by the organisers for either partnership, funding or sponsorship in any form will be doing so at their own volition,” he said.
Comm Nyathi said ZRP Commissioner-General, along with the entire Police Service, has no links to the event and warned the public against being misled by individuals or institutions falsely claiming ties with the ZRP.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police reiterates that the Commissioner-General of Police and the entire Police Service has nothing to do with the alleged Crime Prevention Summit 2025. The ZRP warns individuals or institutions against misleading the public on purported association with the Police for financial gain or mileage,” he said.
The statement comes amid growing concerns over fraudulent events and misrepresentation of national institutions for personal or organisational benefit.
