Police in New Ireland carried out an awareness in Kavieng town for better policing in the Province.
According to Provincial Police Commander, Chief Inspector, Felix Nebanat, the Smart Policing Concept is the vehicle to drive change and set a road map to ensure there is a definite pathway in creating peace and good order in communities.
PPC Nebanat led the awareness campaign with the support from other police personnel and Community Auxiliary Police Officers who went out in two groups for the exercise.
“The concept is a bottom up approach by doing networking in partnership with stakeholders “said Chief Inspector Nebanat.
The exercise started off in and around the Kavieng Urban LLG and concluded at the Kavieng Club with emphasis on partnership in combating crime and town cleanliness.
PPC Nebanat revealed that the next step of this program is to set up COP Shops in strategic locations around Kavieng Town where police will be stationed to monitor and maintain safety of people and the township.
Chief Inspector Nebanat said bonding is equally important to empower Auxiliary Police officers to revitalize community policing starting with Kavieng Urban LLG.
PPC Nebanat thanked business houses in Kavieng that supported the awareness campaign and acknowledged the participation of provincial authorities and other stakeholders.
Nebanat said smart policing is the ideal avenue to enhance capacity building in New Ireland which has been neglected and missing over the years.
