Gulf police boss, Silas Wayagure, says networking is important to combat transnational crime in the country.
It was revealed at the Transnational Crime Workshop in Port Moresby today that transnational crime is no longer a myth in Papua New Guinea.
The Gulf Provincial Police boss says there are no proper mechanisms set up to report and seek assistance to combat this international offence.
“We need networking with (relevant) agencies to combat transnational crime,” Wayagure says.
“Transnational crime happens in my province, but I do not know which offices to go to.”
Wayagure adds that networking, sharing of information, training and education awareness can be an avenue where relevant line agencies can work together to combat the crime.
According to the Oxford Bibliographies, transnational crimes are violations of law that involve more than one country in their planning, execution or impact.
