Boroko Police cells

The Watch House boasts a newly-refurbished sterile area, an exercise/sun bath booth, an interview room and a new Cell Management System (CMS), among others.

“The new cell management system will be used to keep track of all detainees with their particulars,” said NCD-Central Police Commander, Sylvester Kalaut, during the official reopening today.

“With this system, we are optimistic that it will help reduce the opportunity for unlawful release of detainees from cells.”

NCD Metropolitan Police Commander Ben Turi tells PNG Loop that the cells should be sorted out in the next three weeks.

He added that work is progressing on the renovation and upgrades of the holding rooms, toilets and kitchen area as well.

In a recent cell inspection the NCD Central Police Commander Sylvester Kalaut says that all the cells once redone will be reopened to the general populace.

He says the cell issue is an internal matter that he and his command have taken charge of to sort out and do up.
