    • Very tru….!!
      And also, catching any SHP man/meri, terminate on the spot from constabulary and ban him/her from any government work force.

  • I suggest the RPNGC or the government set up a secret police unit to made up of equal number of men and women from each region trained overseas to keep an eye rogue policemen and women. They may also be engaged on other “spying” activities where needed by the police force and the government!

  • Great job, strip them of their title and send them to prison they disgrace the name pngpc.

    Also dig deep and arrest those who extort money from citizens and those who receive bribes. It is all criminal acts coz just like robery.

    I also I agree a special force must be established and must go through specialist teaming oversees to tackle these.

    It’s a daunting task but we must make the move today so the constabulary may save it’s reputation.

  • Police officers are the ones who enforcing the laws and yet they are involving in criminal activities. These shows that the Police Recruitment Officer did not select the right person to the police force. This portrays a bad image to the Constabulary of PNG.

  • Every constabulary men & women swore an oath to uphold the rule of law. When they step out of line the consequences MUST be severe. And this is a proposal on recruitment requirement; applicant’s Christian faith must be checked and evaluated seriously. We now need the police force to be flooded with personal with strong Christian faith. God bless PNG

  • One of the requirements must be a character reference from a senior, reputable pastor or a clergyman.

    Without this, there should be no recruitment.
