A family’s gratitude to Lae’s Task
Force cops
NEARLY everyday we hear about police
brutality or some other negative comments about the police.
However, I beg to differ and would like to thank the Task Force
policemen who assisted my family last Oct 6.
My father and brother were held up at gun-point along the
Unitech Road just past the Igam junction and everything they had
was taken including our vehicle.
The Task Force unit that was on duty that day responded quickly
but because of the bad state of the roads, the perpetrators got
away and disabled the vehicle by taking the car battery and two
tyres, probably hoping to return and cannibalise other parts to
sell.
The policemen found our vehicle and assisted us to find whatever
necessary, including a mechanic, for us to move the vehicle out
of the bush and back home before the perpetrators came back to
strip the vehicle.
Mind you, the sun had already set but they did not complain or
hesitate until the job of moving the vehicle was completed.
This truly shows the professionalism and true commitment of our
policemen. It definitely gave me a different image of the
police.
These men are true blue policemen and my family and I sincerely
thank the Task Force unit on duty last Oct 6 for a job well
done.
