PNG Police

NCD Metropolitan Police Commander Ben Turi has informed PNG Loop that search warrants will be issued to check all suspected personnel homes and properties.

Turi says that police have been investigating a group of policemen who have been linked to the death threats issued on both the Police Commissioner Gari Baki and himself.

The media were shown examples of  text messages by Turi during a recent raid that implicated an unattached officer.

More raids have been carried out while more officers have been taken in for questioning by the investigators on the case.

Assistant Commissioner Police for Traffic Jerry Frank  informed PNG Loop that people are being encouraged to take note of the time and place of the incident.

They must also note vehicle registration numbers especially at road blocks so that it will be easy to track down the police unit that is on the scene and charge them accordingly.

Frank says investigators have narrowed down the findings to the case of the police officer shown in the viral video that was recorded by a man who, the officer was trying to get money from.

Women leaders around the country and the facilitators of this movement convened the first meeting last Saturday to come up with a strategic framework for the movement.

“First thing is to cut down police brutality by the first quarter of the year, and will concentrate on reducing the crime rate and stolen motor vehicles in the city.
