Police presence

Police presence maintained at hotspots

The police commanders from the three zones in NCD reported no major incidents this week due to police presence in hotspot areas within the city.

According to NCD Metropolitan Superintendent Silva Sika, the city was quiet on Wednesday 25th January 2023, during the heavy downpour, where there were reports of flood along the road.

He said Erima, Waigani, Hohola were flooded and police officers were present and kept opportunists away from the traveling public.

Police presence to increase in NCD

NCDC Metropolitan Superintendent Ben Turi told Loop PNG that manpower for roadblocks and checks have increased and some parts of the city might seem congested at nights.

Vehicles are advised to stop at these checkpoints for the police to give a quick run-down check on their vehicles before they can pass.

“I stress again that all vehicles must stop at these checkpoints,” says Turi.

Turi says there will also be roadblocks put up in certain streets where some vehicles like to take to escape police checks.
