An operational plan is ready and underway for the Northern Command police to use for the upcoming 2017 National Elections.
Divisional Commander for Northern Region, Peter Guinness, says the polling will be made up of 500 officers.
Northern Command is made of the following provinces; Morobe, Madang and the Eastern Highlands provinces.
A team from the Police Divisional Headquarters (PDHQ) will be sent over to visit and assist the PPCs and Metsupt to better understand the operation order so that they can be able to prepare their operation orders.
“Once done, an operational plan will be confirmed.”
Meanwhile, possible locations will be identified by the team as well and arranged for the accommodations of the police officers that will be deployed there during the election period.
