New Guinea Islands Divisional Commander, ACP Perou N’dranou has urged police officers to uphold basic policing duties.
ACP N’dranou’s encouragement came during a short visit to New Ireland Province recently.
His visit is part of his familiarization call to ensure there is realistic overview of the state of police affairs for each province in the New Guinea Islands region.
N’dranou said he wants to see three things achieved in the region. “The first priority is getting the basic fundamentals of policing right again. It doesn’t need money to these priority target areas, all it needs is for each police officer to do their job right,” said ACP N’dranou.
The recently appointed Divisional Commander said this includes attending to complaints, investigating cases and prosecution.
N’dranou expressed that all these must be executed with integrity.
He added that his second priority is to have ‘zero tolerance to public nuisance while the third is ‘public stakeholders’ partnerships with police. The NGI Assistant Commander said New Ireland has introduced the SMART Policing concept which aligns perfectly with the regional focus to improve policing.
“This is the way forward because policing is challenging and police are under resourced at most times. Innovative approach is a smarter way to attract partnership,” said N’dranou.
N’dranou was recently appointed as NGI Assistant Divisional Commander and is based in East New Britain. New Ireland is the second province visited by him with plans of visits to Manus and West New Britain.
Rural Police Commanders from Konos, Lakurumau, Lihir and Taskul travelled into Kavieng Town to meet the new ACP. A parade was held by the local police force led by New Ireland Provincial Police Commander, Chief Inspector Felix Nebanat.
