Security Operations

According to CS contingent commander Assistant Commissioner Henry Wavik, while the supplementary orders were delivered last Friday their location detail and duties are yet to be handed to them by the overall operations command.

Wavik says that their deployment orders will cover all their engagement duties which would consist primarily of them being engaged at the 8 police stations and the airport post to help their police counterparts with general policing duties.

Most of the sites were inspected last week, while command mobile units have been operating in and around the city.

Last week, the Sir John Guise stadium, Bisini sports fields, and the Taurama Aquatic Centre were all checked out with the site inspectors as well as security command members.

To date each of the security forces has indicated that they are in operations mode with the overall games commander David Manning adding that this week all his units will be on “all systems go’’.

In a joint parade, Police, Defense and Correctional Services personnel formed up and marched on into the Sir John Guise stadium then form up at the outer field where a parade was hosted by the police Commissioner.

The parades Reviewing Officer, Prime Minister Peter O’Neill in his address says that he was very proud as a Papua New Guinean to participate and be part of the parade that would launch their security operations.

Prime Minister O’Neil says that his government has placed priority in the rebuilding of the three disciplinary forces.
