“Like I always say, there are more good cops than bad ones. We will all work together to get rid of the rotten apples,” he stated.

They were there to try and remove the about 400 refugees who have refused to move to new camps at nearly Lorengau.

The police, soldiers and immigration officials entered the site early today and Mr Baki said it was a peaceful exercise with 50 inmates leaving.

He said police are doing the best they can for the refugees but they remain stubborn and defiant and are putting huge pressure on the island's community and its police resources.

Walter Nombe said without police doing the hard yards, we would not prosper in nation building.

He said they climb mountains and cross rivers – a first time for most – and he is so proud of their tireless contribution.

"I know the history of the Constabulary and that is why I am mentioning them because they are also one of the oldest existing government sectors.

"They have done a tremendous job in ensuring peace and harmony in our communities. And I applaud them for the contribution," Nombe said.

PNG Loop was told that the Police Constable was arrested during a dawn raid by police investigators at his family residence on Thursday morning (July 28^th).

Assistant police commissioner of crimes Victor Isouve informed PNG Loop the Constable was arrested at the home of his father who is also a former Assist police Commissioner.

Based here in Port Moresby and the man has been on the run for the past year and a half evading investigators.

Speaking to police officers during the Metropolitan Superintendent Midyear parade, Lae Police Boss Anthony Wagambie Jnr say police must maintain law and order to ensure that investments thrive.

“Investments will help create more jobs which will get people off the streets,” Wagambie Jnr says.

He says investments and workers’ pay tax to the government and this tax will later be used by the government to provide basic services to our people.

He added that as police officer must look at the broader picture on our importance and must perform to the expected standards.
