Red Sea Barracks

Tokura’s commitment, determination, and longest service to the RPNGC for more than 40 years, has been honoured with a police barracks named after him. 

The renaming ceremony was small yet significant. It was witnessed by Minister for Internal Security Peter Tsiamalili Jnr, Member for South Bougainville Timothy Masiu, Commissioner of Police David Manning and members of the police force.

COP Manning said a discussion was had and the department decided on renaming the barracks after one of its loyal servants.

Minister Bryan Kramer, who was at the Barracks to address water and sanitation issues, said the government has listened to their concerns, and now demands a fair and diligent law enforcing service.

Acting Deputy Commissioner and Chief of Operations, David Manning, today accompanied Police Minister Bryan Kramer to the Red Sea Barracks at Bomana to address grievances raised by members of the Constabulary over sewage problems affecting the residents over the past few weeks.

Police families living in the 150 houses vented their frustration by barricading the barracks when the sewerage system clogged up and emitted stench, posing health risks for them over the past few weeks.
