Police training college

The Child Protection Training Module, crafted within the framework for the protection of children in Papua New Guinea, laid down by the National Child Protection Policy 2017-2027 and Lukautim Pikinini Act 2015, will educate police officers on providing improved policing services for children in need of care and protection, as well as child victims or survivors of violence.

About 20 police officers from Manus Province were the first to undergo a workshop initiated to find out how the police force can improve the effectiveness of prosecutions.

It was facilitated by the Police Prosecutions Training division of the Bomana Police College.

Chief Inspector Bobby Alisa of Bomana’s Police Prosecutions Training highlighted the criticisms from the court and the public about police cases that go to  the court and are dismissed or struck out due to insufficient evidence or non-appearance of police witnesses.
