According to Burkina Information Agency, Commissioner Sidibe reported encouraging results throughout the year, including a notable decrease in crime in the region.

Financial mobilization efforts resulted in the collection of over 66 million CFA francs from fixed fines and over 33 million CFA francs from stamps.

In criminal investigations, 302 individuals involved in common law offenses were brought before regional courts, and 14 suspected terrorists faced specialized bodies combating terrorism. As part of the fight against drugs, 29 awareness sessions were conducted in secondary schools, leading to the seizure of significant quantities of illicit substances and products.

Public safety efforts included numerous patrols and security missions, with police units participating in reconquest operations to secure localities and protect agricultural activities. As the end-of-year celebrations approach, Commissioner Sidibe announced the deployment of specialized units and intensified patrols under Operation "Wibga," emphasizing the importance of public cooperation and collective vigilance.

To further bolster security, the regional director announced the forthcoming establishment of an Anti-Crime Brigade in Dedougou and a Republican Security Company in Tougan.
