	Off on polls duties... Sergeant Judy Girua, Constable Ellis Mike and First Constable May Osamae are part of 130 policemen and women deployed from Goroka in the Eastern Highlands province for Southern Highlands on Monday to provide security for the elections on Saturday. They are among six female officers, who are as eager as their male counterparts prove their worth in the execution of their duties. Sgt Girua said they were very excited and confident of performing equally alongside their male counterparts. She said although they were married with children, the call of duty as police officers was paramount. She said their children and husbands understood the nature of their work and have given them their full support as they set off to ensure a safe and free democratic process of voting. – Nationalpic by CLIVE HAWIGEN Enlarge image
