Reporting system being mooted

Police Commissioner Gari Baki is looking to create a convenient reporting system for members of the public to send in their reports of police brutality and abuse.

Baki informed PNG Loop that one major issue faced by police was that many victims were afraid or intimidated to come forward to report bad police behaviour.

He highlights the recent “Condom Saga” as an example of a case that is on hold as the victim is afraid or hesitant to come out and talk to police.

He says he will be meeting with a select team to go over how the RPNGC can utilise available avenues weather online or through the setup of a toll -free number to create a system for the public to report to.

Baki says he is now looking at this strategy to try and deal with improper police behaviour against the public.

The Commissioner will make an announcement soon  as to how he plans to carry out this public reporting system to deal with police brutality and abuse cases within the RPNGC  throughout the country.
