Lae’s police chief wants all his members who will be deployed to the coming 2015 Pacific Games to resist drinking alcohol.
Chief Superintendent Iven Lakatani gave the orders today after releasing his officers to Port Moresby tomorrow.
"I want all of you to refrain from drinking for the next 14 days. It is imperative that this is compulsory for us to concentrate on the game's duties and not to socialize while on duty," he said.
He said all he needs is complete commitment to the duty of providing security and nothing else. Other commitments are not to be entertained.
The Morobe police will be deployed tomorrow.
