Police Association Commends Members

Police Association of Papua New Guinea, has commended the security personal especially its policemen and policewomen for successfully delivering the National General Election results in 2022.

National President, Lowa Tambua said unlike 2017 where many police officers lost their lives under varying circumstances, the police force has done a marvelous job.

He said although there are many issues raised by citizens and other stakeholders in the manner the election was conducted, it has nothing to down to the work of the police and other security personal.

These issued raised under ambit of the Electoral Commission and the Government which they only can address. The police association is only concerned about the safety and welfare of the police officers.

This security can only be provided by the police, defence and Correctional Service. The personnel must be adequately compensated, remunerated, insured, and maintain in all aspects of their welfare.

The Police Association also appreciate the leadership of Police Commissioner, David Manning in coordinating, maintain command and control over the entire constabulary during the election.
