New police vehicles

Governor for NCD, Powes Parkop, who officially handed over the vehicle keys on Saturday 17^th June, 2023 to the police.

Parkop said that the Moresby South electorate through its District Development Authority (DDA) for the first time utilized the Kina for Kina initiative introduced by the Police Department to purchase the vehicles.

He said the vehicles were jointly funded by the Office of NCD Governor and Moresby South electorate.

"Providing security in our city is very challenging. The population in the city is big compared to the policemen and women.

These items were given to police for a partnership program between the community and police to work hand in hand for a better community.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Peter Guinness, said he was overwhelmed when he saw the benefits of the DSIP.

He said if all elected leaders did the same in supporting the work of police, they would see a peaceful and harmonious community.

Guinness was given one of these vehicles, the other one was given to Zifasing police at 41-Mile, along  Okuk Highway, and Water Police picked up the other.
