Police women serving in varies roles throughout the country are rising up the rank and file, proving their worth in the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary.

First Constable Celcila Dangi is one of few police women, quietly reaching new heights for police women.

The 33-year-old, acting sargeant is the first and only female homicide officer and holds a team leader position in the NCD and Central Command.

Last week she was applauded for her work and commitment by NCD and Central Commander, Anthony Wagambie Jnr who presented her with a framed news article about herself that was published by the Post Courier.

“This is a small token of appreciation from the Command , take the frame, put it up on the wall at home, so your children will know what mummy does. Why mummy sometimes works late or misses special occasions,” said Wagambie.

Dangi completed her grade twelve in 2010 from Mt. Diamond Adventist Secondary School in Hiri District.

Taking after her father, she enlisted in the police force as a third intake of 2011.

She passed out of the Bomana Police Training College in 2012 and commenced her career as a probationary constable.

In April of 2016, Dangi joined the Homicide Squad at Boroko and worked under the command of Assistant Commissioner Police (ACP) Anthony Wagambie Jnr.

While working as the only female homicide officer, Dangi participated in the PNG-APP attachment Program in Australia.

In 2022, she was amongst three police women who attended the the 59th International Association of Women Police Conference (IAWP) in Niagara Falls,Canada.
