While the general security situation of the state remains peaceful, the Joint Security Committee also assures the public that no one will be allowed to disrupt the country’s stability.

Both the Liberia National Police and the Armed Forces of Liberia as well as all state security forces have recommitted themselves to working collaboratively for the maintenance of peace and stability to enhance public confidence.
