Traffic Police prepare for APEC

The RPNGC Traffic Directorate in conjunction with the AFP will be busy in the coming weeks as part of the lead up preparations to the 2018 APEC Summit with the training of its officers in the motorcycle motorcade.

The general public in the nation’s capital will be seeing a lot more motorcycles moving around and working through the traffics.

This is after the first six RPNGC cyclists graduated from a three week specialized course in motorcycle motorcade yesterday at the PNGDF Air Transport Wing.

Police are asking the public to understand what these trainings are for as it’s for the safety of motorcades as well as that of people.

Along with the practical sessions training, there will also be five more courses introduced throughout the year plus one in 2018.

The motorcycles used in the training are old, some up to 12 years and older; however 26 brand new motorcycles have been purchased from Japan and should arrive shortly in the country.

The next course in June will see the riders ride the new motorcycles in their training sessions.
