The NCD police members will see a major shift in their command structure starting this week.
Three senior officers have been suspended pending investigations while other officers will be shifted around the stations and posts identified.
NCD Metropolitan police commander Ben Turi says that this command “clean up” will see some internal transfers for officers to deal with the issue of stagnant positions that may lead to officers also being compromised in the communities that they operate in.
Turi says that he is also dealing with disciplinary issues and non-performance of non commissioned officers (NCO’s) who will be replaced as well.
This week two station commanders from Waigani and Town were suspended for non-performance.
Meantime, Met Sup Turi says that the changes have been brought on for the betterment of command and will take place under all sections.
This week all senior officers and NCOs will be notified with general personnel to also begin rotation among the stations starting next week.
