Downtown police station in Port Moresby today was given a brand new sixth element Toyota Hilux as an early x-mas gift by the National Fisheries Authority (NFA) to assist them in their duties.
Managing Director of National Fisheries Authority John Kasau thanked the police force for their ongoing support and partnership with the compliance unit that work alongside NFA.
“NFA would like to extend our appreciation to the police force especially the compliance enforcement unit that we have with Fisheries looking at compliance issues to do with management and development in PNG,” Kasau said.
Kasau requested the officers that with the new vehicle they should be able to use it to patrol the downtown area and also the nearby Motuan villages.
“With that I would like to request that we have the NFA compound at the Kanudi area and I ask that with this vehicle you may use it to patrol the area,”Ksau plead.
The NCD Metropolitan Superintendent Ben Turi in response thanked Kasau and with the Police Commisioners directive advised the officers to use the vehicle for work purposes and not to misuse it.
“The vehicle must be use elegantly for police duties and no families is allowed in a marked vehicle or any police vehicle as this is an official police vehicle,” Turi said.
Adding that officers should not chew, smoke or drinking and driving while in the vehicle and drivers should be responsible, there should not be dents or accidents to this vehicle.
“We have to take care of limited resources like this. After sometime without a vehicle, here you are so I ask that you take care of the property that is being donated,” Turi said.
