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.
