Central Police to Visit Schools

By
Central Police Commander Chief Inspector Laimo Asi

Police in Central Province are embarking on proactive measures in the hope to reduce crime rates in public areas.

This approaching includes community awareness, school visits and Highway Patrols.

Newly appointed Central Police Commander, Chief Inspector Laimo Asi is targeting school aged children and urging students to maintain discipline in schools.

“Whilst the teachers at the respective schools are doing their best to educate the students, discipline must be the responsibility of parents”, said Asi.

Since taking up the post, Commander Asi visited Laloki Secondary School and spoke to students about good behavior habits while in school.

Commander Asi, who serves as chairman of the Parents and Citizens of Laloki Secondary School and a Board member of Sogeri School of Excellence said his officers will be monitoring students who chew betel nut and smoke cigarettes while in school uniform.

“I want to see students discipline in all the schools throughout the province. I won’t hesitate to arrest and prosecute ill-disciplined students. We have to take tough actions on students at school so they will behave and produce good results, so we have good elites in the future,” said Asi.

Having just graduated with a Masters In Business Administration (MBA), Commander Asi believes more students from Central Schools can secure spaces in Tertiary institutions.

Asi also wears the hat as Patron of Rigo-Abau and Central Students at the University of Papua New Guinea.

Three of the top performing schools in Central Province include Sogeri School of Excellence, Sacred Heart Secondary in Goilala District and Mt. Diamond Secondary in Hir District.

Central, though the nearest province to National Capital District is considered a tough area to police.

It shares provincial borders with Milne Bay to the East and Gulf to the West and with an increase in drugs being smuggled into NCD via Central, proactive policing can minimize such offences.

CHURCH CALLS FOR POLICE MANPOWER

By

A United Church Bishop from Hela province has called on the government and police commissioner to employ more police personnel in Hela to increase police man power in the province.

United Church Pioneer Bishop and Deputy Chair of Hela Council of Churches, Reverend Wai Tege, in an interview with Inside PNG, said there is a need for more police resources and man power to help address lawlessness in the province.

United Church Pioneer Bishop and Deputy Chair of Hela Council of Churches Reverend Wai Tege.

“The are less then 60 policemen stationed in Tari, but they cannot do anything. We need more policemen.” The Bishop said.

The Law and Order issues in Hela province has been an ongoing issue for over 10 years, and the recent Kidnapping at Mt Bosavi has posed a threat to the people, especially women and girls, including public servants in the province.

According to Reverend Tege, a survey carried out by the United Church in Hela shows that the lawlessness in Hela, are mainly caused by unemployed youths between the age of 15 to 27.

“Most of these youths come from polygamous family background with no support from family, therefore they turn to the life of crime and violence.” The Reverend said.

Reverend Tege said the idea of State of Emergencies (SOEs) being declared by the government over the years, have been nothing but a waste of resources and government funding.

He said the solution is to boost police manpower, by employing more police personnel to be stationed permanently in the province.

This will help increase police presence and visibility in the province.

“We have more unemployed youths and school leavers in the country. Employ the school leavers so they can be stationed in Hela, to help address Law and Order Issue.” Reverend Tege said.
