Leading Women Transform Forensic Policing

Hailing from the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC), these two women stand at the forefront of crime scene investigations, thanks to their training under the Papua New Guinea – Australian Policing Partnership (PNG-APP).

Under the PNG-APP initiative, both Detective Senior Constable Hakaiwa and Constable Koma underwent intensive training in Scenes of Crime Officer (SOCO) techniques. 

The course equipped them with a diverse skill set, ranging from crime scene management and search techniques to sketching, note-taking, photography, and fingerprint examination.
