Twenty five members of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary will undergo a pre-departure training program at Boroko Police Station in Port Moresby this week.
The program will officially begin today and wrap up this Friday the 16th of October.
The officers will undergo this training before heading off for placements in Australia in November.
Head of the AFP PNG Deployment, Assistant Commissioner Allan Scott in a recent interview said that this program is a way for the PNG police to get hands on experience in the various policing concepts and techniques in place with their Australian counterparts.
Part of the training will see them undergo detailed training in communication skills, project management, supervision and Microsoft Word.
The “Mekim Senis” placements project in Australia is a four week attachment program that is funded and managed by the Australian Federal Police through the PNG-Australia Policing Partnership under its Wok Wantaim banner.
